ALSO COMMENTS FROM THE LIBERTY COMMITTEE CONCERNING THIS ISSUE AND OPPORTUNITY TO CONTACT YOUR REPRESENTATIVE:
December 12, 2003
Early this year, we warned you about politicians and special-interest
groups quietly working on a program that would give billions of
dollars in Social Security benefits to illegal aliens from Mexico.
Congressman Ron Paul introduced H.R. 489, The Social Security for
American Citizens Only Act to stop that from happening. Even though
H.R. 489 was introduced 11 months ago, the bill has only 18 cosponsors
as of today. We need to change that right away.
The Arizona Republic featured a story on December 10, 2003 about this
issue. The article is titled "Social Security checks could go south
of border" and is posted at http://www.azcentral.com/arizonarepublic/news/articles/1210mexbenefits10.html
These same politicians and special-interest groups are also working on
a program to grant amnesty to millions of illegal aliens in the U.S. The
Washington Times reported on this issue today. "White House verifies
immigration review" is posted at http://www.washtimes.com/national/20031211-114734-2215r.htm
So, while dangling billions of dollars in Social Security benefits before
illegal aliens, the politicians and special interests now add the gift
of amnesty -- hoping Americans are too busy this holiday season to notice
these political payoffs.
Urge your U.S. representative to cosponsor H.R. 489. Send a message by

Now that members of Congress are home for two months, let them also hear
from you in person when you see them at town-hall meetings.
