and what benefits would that alien have earned for say even a couple of years paying SSI at such a low level? NOTHING! Same as a citizen. You completely ignore the school costs for their children, the welfare many collect and the medical costs paid again by US! Now explain why an illegal can work illegally under a any set of numbers by not cannot make a compensation claim with those numbers if injured?

NOT BIG NEWS OF COURSE! DID OBAMA TALK ABOUT THIS? Border Patrol agent slain while responding to incursionStory Highlights U.S. Border Patrol agent Robert Rosas gunned down in California Homeland Security chief vows to "find and bring to justice" those behind killing Rosas is ninth Border Patrol agent to be killed while on duty since 2006 updated 6:49 p.m. EDT, Fri July 24, 2009Next Article in Crime » (CNN) -- A U.S. Border Patrol agent who was shot and killed Thursday night was responding to a potential incursion into the United States, authorities said. U.S. Homeland Security Secretary Janet Napolitano says, "This act of violence will not stand." Agent Robert Rosas suffered multiple gunshot wounds and died at the scene around 9 p.m. in the Campo area in San Diego County, California, said Richard Barlow of the U.S. Border Patrol. Barlow, speaking at a Friday news conference, said authorities did not have additional details about the incident, which he said occurred near the fence that separates the U.S. and Mexico. Other agents responded to the area and found Rosas, Barlow said. Authorities said they believe more than one person was involved in the killing, said Keith Slotter, special agent in charge of the FBI's San Diego bureau. He said one of those involved may have been injured as well. Authorities weren't sure how the person's wound was caused but said they believe it was significant enough to draw blood, Slotter said. He said the FBI has set up a $100,000 reward for information leading to the arrest and conviction of those responsible for the killing. U.S. authorities are working closely with Mexican authorities, he said. Barlow said Rosas leaves behind a wife and two small children -- a 2-year-old son and an 11-month-old daughter. The slain agent had been with the Border Patrol for three years, Barlow said. Homeland Security Secretary Janet Napolitano vowed to "find and bring to justice" those responsible for the killing. "This act of violence will not stand -- nor will any act of violence against the Border Patrol," she said in a written statement. Rosas is the ninth Border Patrol agent to be killed while on duty since 2006, according to the agency's Web site. Two agents died in a vehicle wreck in 2006, and four died in 2007, including two who died in vehicle wrecks, a third who drowned and a fourth who suffered a heart attack while pursuing illegal immigrants. Two agents died on duty last year, the Border Patrol said. One died in a single-vehicle wreck; another was struck and killed by a vehicle driven by a suspected smuggler, according to the agency's Web site.

Good. Now let's make it impossible. It's pretty difficult for an illegal who has paid into SS under some other persons SS number to file for or receive benefits.

Do you realize how many people have tax problems do to income reported on their SS Numbers because an illegal decided to use it? A small inconvenience if it isn't YOU!

Daily Presidential Tracking Poll NEW RECORD LOW) Saturday, July 25, 2009 Email to a Friend ShareThis.Advertisement The Rasmussen Reports daily Presidential Tracking Poll for Saturday shows that 30% of the nation's voters now Strongly Approve of the way that Barack Obama is performing his role as President. Thirty-nine percent (39%) Strongly Disapprove giving Obama a Presidential Approval Index rating of -9. (see trends). The number who Strongly Disapprove of the President has increased slightly following the prime time press conference on Wednesday night. That figure—39%--is now at the highest level yet recorded. As a result, the overall Approval Index has fallen to the lowest level yet recorded for this President. Check out our review of last week’s key polls to see “What They Told Us.” Topics include health care, the economy, and more. The Presidential Approval Index is calculated by subtracting the number who Strongly Disapprove from the number who Strongly Approve. It is updated daily at 9:30 a.m. Eastern (sign up for free daily e-mail update). Updates also available on Twitter. Overall, 49% of voters say they at least somewhat approve of the President's performance. This is the second straight day that his overall approval rating has been below 50% among Likely Voters nationwide. Fifty-one percent (51%) disapprove. See recent demographic highlights from the Presidential Tracking Poll. For more measures of the President’s performance, see Obama By the Numbers. These updates are based upon nightly telephone interviews and reported on a three-day rolling average basis. More than two-thirds of the interviews for today’s update were completed after the President’s nationally televised press conference on Wednesday night. The first update based entirely upon interviews conducted after the press conference will be released on Sunday. It is important to remember that the Rasmussen Reports job approval ratings are based upon a sample of likely voters. Some other firms base their approval ratings on samples of all adults. President Obama’s numbers are always several points higher in a poll of adults rather than likely voters. That’s because some of the President’s most enthusiastic supporters, such as young adults, are less likely to turn out to vote. While the President’s ratings have slipped over the past month, 54% believe that President George W. Bush is still primarily to blame for the nation’s economic problems. Just 25% believe that the economic stimulus package has helped the economy. (More Below) California Senator Barbara Boxer is clinging to a four-point lead in her bid for re-election. Fifty-three percent (53%) now oppose the Congressional health care reform package. That’s up eight points over the past month. Just 20% now see health care as the most important of the President’s priorities. Nearly twice as many, 37%, say deficit reduction is most important. Fifty-five percent (55%) of California voters oppose the budget agreement reached by the state’s political leaders. Sixty-four percent (64%) believe that illegal immigrants create a major strain on the state’s budget. Nationwide, 72% don’t want the federal government determining what type of light bulbs they should purchase. Forty-six percent (46%) say that network television news is more reliable than the internet. Thirty-five percent (35%) disagree. Thirty-one percent (31%) now say the U.S. is heading in the right direction. That’s down nine points from the 2009 peak. Republicans continue to enjoy a slight edge on the Generic Congressional Ballot. Please take our Daily Prediction Challenge and predict the results of upcoming polls.

You can also learn about Scott's favorite place on earth or his time working with hockey legend Gordie Howe. When comparing Job Approval data from different firms, it's important to keep in mind that polls of likely voters and polls of all adults will typically and consistently yield different results. In the case of President Obama, polls by all firms measuring all adults typically show significantly higher approval ratings than polls of likely voters. Polls of registered voters typically fall in the middle. Other factors are also important to consider when comparing Job Approval ratings from different polling firms. A Fordham University professor has rated the national pollsters on their record in Election 2008. We also have provided a summary of our results for your review. Daily tracking results are collected via telephone surveys of 500 likely voters per night and reported on a three-day rolling average basis. The margin of sampling error—for the full sample of 1,500 Likely Voters--is +/- 3 percentage points with a 95% level of confidence. Results are also compiled on a full-week basis and crosstabs for full-week results are available for Premium Members. Like all polling firms, Rasmussen Reports weights its data to reflect the population at large (see methodology). Among other targets, Rasmussen Reports weights data by political party affiliation using a dynamic weighting process. While partisan affiliation is generally quite stable over time, there are a fair number of people who waver between allegiance to a particular party or independent status. Over the past four years, the number of Democrats in the country has increased while the number of Republicans has decreased. Our baseline targets are established based upon separate survey interviews with a sample of adults nationwide completed during the preceding three months (a total of 45,000 interviews) and targets are updated monthly. Currently, the baseline targets for the adult population are 39.0% Democrats, 32.5% Republicans, and 28.5% unaffiliated. Likely voter samples typically show a slightly smaller advantage for the Democrats. A review of last week’s key polls is posted each Saturday morning. Other stats on Obama are updated daily on the Rasmussen Reports Obama By the Numbers page.
