Is any other US citizen who has paid into social security annoyed that immigrants get benefits even though they have never contributed? We can thank democrats for that!

It bugs the crap out of me. I worked for over 45 years and earned my S.S. Benefits and Medicare. The immigrants, whether legal or illegal, should NOT get any benefits whatsoever. If they want a free ride, let them stay in their own country and get it there.

If pell grants aren't support from the government I don't know what is. There's also Cal grants for people in California. There's BOG waivers for community college students. It's called a loan like everyone else. I graduated with 100k in debt. Am I better off now than the people I grew up with in rural Kentucky who never took a student loan to go to college? Heck yes! By a magnitude. My annual taxes alone is more than what they make in a decade. Our citizens need to take care of themselves. All the options and opportunities are out there. Way more than whats being offered to illegal immigrants. It's a matter of taking it and using it to their advantage. The majority don't. Therefore they can't really complain that others do, can they?

because you are a good person & i hoped you open your perspectives more, i'm agree & you saying the right point, but this right point you mentioned has nothing to do with immigration rules, Sir, taking care of our potential & our citizens is good (we doing it already) in United States those that "Want" to do something they "Doing it" so many Americans don't appreciate what they've got, they just learnt to sit down & motto "the economy is down "sigh" "sight" & blame everyone & everything for their laziness, at least some immigrants knows how to use opportunities to ignite themselves so they getting what they deserve. U.S just always using all possible potentials all around the world , that's one of the reasons that makes U.S special & strong, Do ya know how many immigrants working for NASA ? how many immigrants working on medical fields ? & so many other technology & courses, thousand of discovers & invents, half of them are immigrants, Albert Einstein been immigrant, He's from Germany but his ideas been knocked out but U.S gave him opportunity & i don't need to tell you who he is right ? despite U.S created by immigrants, this is how U.S using immigration potentials , that's how we progress. that's our principles.

Moga Deet, you have no idea of my income. I retired at 58 and STILL have a 7 figure income EVERY YEAR. My entire SS check is donated to various veteran associations every month before taxation in addition to other income given freely to various scholarships throughout my area.
The "poor, rural whites" in this country have been conditioned by the government to accept this mentality. It's cheaper and easier to pay them off than to help them.

Seems like there are some other facts about that . I read this and it seems there is a lot of controversy over your question.I would have to see more facts to see if your claim is completely correct or not.

I have been watching trump and he has some great ideas. I am impressed that he isn't taking money from special interests groups. He may be what we need to end this apparent problems with illegals.

I like how you hide under anonymous, if you truly believe in something why the discretion?

Illegals do not get social security. Neither do they get welfare. Their children does. From the United States Constitution: "All persons born or naturalized in the United States, and subject to the jurisdiction thereof, are citizens of the United States and of the State wherein they reside." So unless your goal is to fight the constitution, you're fighting the wrong battle here.

Growing up on welfare as a kid, if you think people living on welfare are living large, you probably aren't accomplishing much with your own life. Just an observation of course. It tends to be the lowest of the low who often complain about the poor and have-nots.

Social security is supplementary income. SUPPLEMENTARY: Adjective; completing or enhancing something. If you're RELYING on it as a retirement fund, you're doing it completely wrong.

Look, I pay more taxes in a year more than what a lot of people make annually and I have better things to complain about than over a few pennies to feed children and their family.

They do get free college classes at some colleges - makes people with student loans upset I would think.

Why would anyone be upset over people taking ESL classes and learning English? If anything, they'd be happy.

You are just wrong.  Nobody gets SS benefits they haven't paid into, unless they are a surviving spouse or a dependent child.

Unless your family came over on the Mayflower or are Native American, every nasty thing Republicans are saying about immigrants was said about your family - especially if you are Irish, Italian, Chinese or Japanese.

You know Trump's grandfather was an immigrant from Germany.  His mother is from Scotland.  His first and third wives are foreign-born.

I live here in TX, a Republican state, and I'm democrat.  Who is building all the highways and houses? Illegal aliens. They cut all the lawns. Why? Because the white and black do not want to work. Get your facts together.

I would think the people who have student loans would be more upset about illegals getting free college classes.
