Oh, he sure is. While you are correct in stating everyone ignores this problem, Bush is in charge. So what's he doing? Nothing. He's giving ILLEGALS legal status. Perhaps most are innocuous, but many are not...back to Bush flooding SS: The real threat to Social Security doesn’t come from giving young people this opportunity. The threat comes from a Bush administration plan to load illegal immigrants into the Social Security system, an idea that would skyrocket costs and bankrupt the system at the same time baby boomers flood into their benefit years. The code word for this racket is “totalization.” The United States has totalization agreements with 20 countries, which have been reasonable and uncontroversial, but totalization with Mexico is TOTALLY different. The idea behind totalization with other countries is to ensure a pension to those few individuals who work legally in two countries by “totalizing” their payments into the pension systems of both countries. All existing totalization agreements are with developed nations whose retirement benefits are on par with U.S. benefits, and the affected employees work for companies that have been paying taxes into the other countries’ retirement systems. Workers from those other 20 countries come with employer documents verifying that they are authorized to work in the United States. Only a minuscule fraction of Mexicans enter with such documents. amren.com

I can remember when the republican party used to preach about immigration reform and border security...now they have the means to implement it. But...
