Illegals and Social Security

Thursday, January 25, 2007

Dear Editor,

What makes Sen. Hagel think that the hard-working people of Nebraska and the rest of the U.S. should divvy up their hard-earned Social Security with a bunch of illegals who are sending the biggest share of their earnings back to Mexico so they may retire there in great comfort?

They tell us that the Social Security funds are shriveling away and we may not have enough to take care of the baby boomers. So, why then are we going to help illegal immigrants who have never contributed a dime to the system?

What is wrong with these people? Are they in cahoots with some aliens?

Too bad some of these congressional people do not have to live like the majority of the people in this country. Why can they not have a normal retirement?

Just some things to think about.

Luella Hinton,

Cambridge
