US-Mexico Social Security Totalization Agreement: WTF?
A few months ago (yeah I know it’s been a while, but here I am again, ok?), I made a reference to the disappearing border of what was once the United States of America. Now that the Social Security Administration (SSA) has released the first known public copy of the US-Mexico Social Security Totalization Agreement, the plot is truly out in the open.
Thanks to our litigious society, our government-for-sale was forced to make the disclosure in response to lawsuits filed under the Freedom of Information Act by TREA Senior Citizens League.
According to Yahoo News, the agreement “could allow millions of illegal Mexican workers to draw billions of dollars from the U.S. Social Security Trust Fund.”
Now on one hand, this could be as Malcolm X would say “the chickens coming home to roost.” After all, Mexico used to encompass much of what we call the South West U.S. before our conquering fathers killed everybody and divided the spoils.
But on the other hand, it’s yet another wake up call; a massive bell-ringing for the benefit of every American citizen, courtesy of a government that ditched “by the people, for the people” in favor of “big business at all costs.”
BTW, happy new year.

This is a “self-destruct” move by political opportunists, whom we call politicians or our representatives.
Noone has sufficient funds to supprot this effort. Therefore, it is a diliberate act of treason, in my view. There must be a better answer to help Mexico without stealing from the U.S. taxpayers.
