THIS IS A LETTER RECEIVED FROM THE DAUGHTER OF A

"COMBAT VETERAN"

~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~

Date: Sun, 5 Nov 2006

My Mom was a homemaker and dad worked all his life and
paid into Social Security, dad has passed away and now my Mom can
barely make ends meet.

While the possible "illegal" alien in front
of her at the grocery store buys the name brands, my Mom goes
for the generic brands, and day old breads.

She doesn't have out of state calling on her phone,
because she can't afford it and shops at the
thrift shops and dollar stores while the "illegal" aliens go to
Macy's, Gap, J.C. Penny, Banana Republic, etc.

She considers having a pizza delivered once a
week "eating out".

She grew up during the depression, watched her husband go
overseas to fight in WW II a year after their marriage,
and then they went on to raise, feed and clothe 5 children,
scrounging to pay tuition for parochial schools.

I'm sorry, but I can't see how the Senate can justify
this slap in the face to born and bred, or naturalized
citizens.

It is already impossible to live on Social Security
alone. If they give benefits to "illegal" aliens who
have never contributed, where does that leave us that have paid
into Social Security all our working lives?

The Senate voted this week to allow "illegal" aliens
access to Social Security benefits.
