Amnesty not a solution Immigration -- legal and illegal -- works against repairing Social Security and Medicare. Following the playbook of Rahm Emanuel, President Obama's chief of staff, proponents of amnesty for illegal aliens are not letting any serious crisis go to waste. Medicare and Social Security trustees recently announced the trust funds will be insolvent sooner than previously reported -- by 2017 and 2037, respectively. In response, several proponents for illegal alien amnesty began beating the drum that amnesty was the solution for insolvency. In fact, amnesty would ultimately compound the problems. Social Security and Medicare are structured like giant Ponzi schemes where today's workers support today's retirees. 27 Jul 2009 @ 02:19 am
