How do the elderly get money? You can't collect Social Security unless you've been paying into it for a certain amount of quarters.

Dakota-
I'm afraid the naturalized citizens that I know personally do not have that mind set and approach to becoming and being a citizen. The folks that I know are hard working and very grateful to have become citizens. They don't take anything for granted, and are good citizens in every meaning of the word. We must travel in different circles.

Very a person's world view depends rather heavily on the company they keep.

One word. SSI. Claim poverty/disability and you are in. Every grandma/grandpa I know is on it. It is a great retirement package for the world.

Guess what? I do not believe you.

you can get disability and public housing even when you've been deported because your temporary visa expired years ago.

Getting a bit off topic here, but: :agree:

SSI:
"Supplemental Security Income (SSI) is a Federal income supplement program funded by general tax revenues (not Social Security taxes):
- It is designed to help aged, blind, and disabled people, who have little or no income; and
- It provides cash to meet basic needs for food, clothing, and shelter.

In other words: FREE money!!
One of my grandparents' greatest gripes was that they had paid into the system since its inception in the mid-1930s, yet their in-laws who moved here in the 1970s got nearly as much as they did (after signing over all of their assets to their children, thus becoming "poor" and eligible for all sorts of goodies)...

I don't know anybody who is doing that. I must travel in the wrong circles.
