SOCIAL SECURITY BEING ROBBED!

I live in the Brooklyn, N.Y. area, I have come to find that the big empty hole in Social Security is the in-appropriate use of S.S.I. to fund Russian born immigrants. Hard to believe but Russian immigrants immediatly recieve full S.S.I., Medicade and foodstamps as soon as they get to the U.S.A.

I'm also aware of the standard I.N.S. policy that says it is illegal to enter the U.S. with a known disability for the purpose of grabbing our welfare and now S.S.I. funds. Who is responsible for this? Im 39 and have been paying into Social Security since the age of 12. My grandmother was an Italian immigrant who struggled through two world wars and the great Depression. My mother is also a retired senior citizen who worked hard and now both of them are struggling with the miniscule amounts that Social Security returns to them and its still being cut!!!

Do any other people feel the way I do? I can't find a shred of information on legislation that allows the federal government to over reward Russian immigrants to get these hard earned entitlments without ever working a day in America or paying a nickle into Social Security.

The Cold war is over let them get jobs like everyone else and start paying in to this government. That's what everyone else has to do. Why continue this sloppy waste of taxpayer money.

If you share my views or can educate me as to why Russian immigrants are getting preferential reatment please e-mail me. I will answer all e-mail even if it means setting up a web site for this topic.
