Can you support a bill that stops Social Security to illegal aliens?

http://www.congress.org/congressorg/issues/bills/?billtype=H.R.&billnumb=160&congress=111 'To amend title II of the Social Security Act and the Internal Revenue Code of 1986 to provide prospectively that wages earned, and self-employment income derived, by individuals who are not citizens or nationals of the United States shall not be credited for coverage under the old-age, survivors, and disability insurance program under such title, and to provide the President with authority to enter into agreements with other nations taking into account such limitation on crediting of wages and' Bill # H.R.160 Illegal aliens would be inelgiable for Social Security. Is this a good idea?? Social Security and illegal aliens http://www.snopes.com/politics/immigration/socialsecurity.asp ---------------------------------------- Also the http://www.numbersusa.com link down below will tell you more. The link in the main body will tell you what the bill says and it is critical to read it. And no.. we don't have the money to support Social Security if things don't work out very, very well. THAT is one reason Obama is worried.

1. No. And, they are the least of worries in the chain
2. If they are in the country illegally then why should they be legally allowed to collect social security.
3. Yes. I am sick of illegal immigrants raping our country! This link has all the information on what illegal immigrants cost American citizens. http://www.numbersusa.com/content/
4. I think you need to be a citizen of the US, or at least a resident to receive payments from Social Security.
5. Illegal aliens should not be eligible for any benefits from this country. Why do we have to take care of them?
6. If the money was withheld from their wages, they're entitled to the benefits derived from their contributions. If they did not contribute to Social Security, then they should not benefit from it. Actually, many illegal aliens are using the Social Security numbers of others and their employers are paying into Social Security from their pay money that will benefit someone else - the person whose Social Security number they are using in order to work. Somewhere there has to be a happy medium where they would actually have some return on the money they contributed, but which was not credited to them. It's a conundrum.
7. I would support a bill to stop ANY hand outs or money to illegals. They need to get out of my Country so our own people can have jobs.
8. yes, they are illegal and entitled to nothing. Us hard working americans are at the point where we might not get SS when we retire, so why should we include illegals that have evades taxes, milked the healthcare system, and brought crime to our country over the years?
9. They are illegal and shouldn't even be here. I am against ANY benefits to illegals. Those are meant for the legal citizens.
10. The amount they pay into social security doesn't begin to cover what it cost to educate, house, feed, or cover medical care. Pay for infrastructure repairs or improvements, natural resources used up. Lets consider that money their (little) contribution to cover the welfare and other benefits they receive. *And for those who claim illegals can't bet benefits their anchor babies do and at this point there is an estimated 5 million.
11. Yes,I support it. Why should they get SS benefits when they aren't legally allowed to have that job. And those that think that by the illegal person using a citizens SS#,they are helping them,you are delusional.
