Why are illegal aliens treated better than seniors ?

Today,there are 5 million of our older Americans who have not signed up for their Medicare Part D drug plan. They are old and confused. We are not going to grant them an extension. There are,however 12 million illegal aliens in our country and we are going to allow them to stay,protest,procreate,receive support monies,attend schools,avoid paying income taxes,have our teachers take 300 hours ( English As A Second language) training at our expense,etc. And by the way , please don't forget to pay your taxes. 12 million illegal aliens are depending on you. ( Only in America)

Answer:
glw, (and others who see his perspective) In time, you will wake up one morning as a senior citizen. Maybe then, you'll have empathy for their plight and not be so snippet about things that concern them. Since you're young enough to not understand the elderly's hardships (many are not eating to pay for their meds or vice versa), maybe you'll be around when the social system will be drained, leaving you (who will then be a senior citizen) with nothing but destitution to face.
You're clueless, absolutely clueless.

illegal aliens dont' complain about a can of beans costing 59 cents.

and they turn off their blinkers in their cars after they make the turn.

and they don't constantly get in your way at the grocery store.
they have more energy to fight it I guess
cause most illegeal aliens sell viagra to the seniors
Well in all fairness illegal aliens contribute way more to our society than the elderly do... and they definitely receive a smaller amount in proportion to what they add to our society (cheap labor mostly)... Why not make them legal, be able to tax them properly, and have MORE money to devote to programs for seniors?
I received this same exact email. I completely agree. It makes me mad that the seniors are being played hardball with, and illegal immigrants are receiving benefits paid for by those seniors.
illegals contribute to the economy, seniors leech off the economy
I think its because we want to look like this great nation that is saving these poor people. Its totally crap! Blame the liberals, they are the ones who have these fruity ideals about immigrants.
Illegal aliens are trested better anyways...they get no taxes, discounts, special privaliages, yeah all that good stuff that no other american gets...yeah it isnt right but I guess that is the way that the ball rolls
Why are murderers on death row treated better than most middle class Americans without health care?

Why are prison inmates fed better than the children in our school systems?

Why is the shrinking middle class slipping closer to the poverty line, while those making 6 figures get more and more breaks?

There are many questions like that.
Its the same in the UK
You have your facts mixed and confused.
The government is somehow making money maybe ?? Report every illegal immigrant to the INS< YOUR GOVERNOR AND BOMBARD THE WHITEHOUSE WITH IT !! illegal immigrations is FOREIGN INVASION !
Illegal aliens are treated better than seniors because the seniors are living the period of their golden years, and since they have so much gold to live with, attention is paid to the poor illegal aliens that have no gold or silver, not even bronze!!! :)
yeah seniors are lazy they should just die and get out of our way, (just kidding). But really america needs to stop bitching about mexicans. They have more claim on this nation than white people, mexicans a more closely related to Native Americans with just a little spanish genetics in there, so let them come. They deserve to live here, after all we did steal the southwest from them.
who knows i think that no one should be aloud to come and live unless they have family here and send illegal alins back to mexico
If the senile old people forgot to sign up, that isn't my problem.
,they might not pay taxes but they work cheap and i can tell you though its not a good thing if they kick out everyone of them our prices on a whole lot of things will go up like food and cloths just think about it for a munite, the shitty jobs no body wants to do for that pay are being done and saving us money.
As much as I hate them, illegals are putting into the economy, just as well as they are taking. Now as far as exact figures I'm not sure. Seniors don't really put much into the economy anymore. That's the only logical reasoning I have.
Because if this country was built on seniors, they would have found something to complain about, whereas illegals are used to building and construction jobs. What are you- German or Polish, and where did your ancestors come from- Florida. No Germany and Poland!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! Get it??????????????
Most of those 12 millions do pay taxes too, they just can't claim it back because they cash their checks and thats it. Their money is int he budget wheel as much as yours and mine but none of it helps them.
Also most of those aliens work in jobs that nobody else cares to take because of pride or miserable pay. I haven't seen many americans willing to clean a malls bathroom days in day out. They would rather live of the state's weekly assitance. Most illigals though work their *** off over 80 hours a week and live by the dozen in a room to just believe in the american dream.
Their contribution to the economy is worth BILLIONS. Those billions are included in the states budgets that are used for the Seniors.
Unfortunately I wouldn't blame the seniors situation on illigals but on their own families for not caring for them anymore. Their brought you up, clothed you and educated you until you were fit to live by yourself, roughly 18-20 years correct? the average senior retires at 65, add 20 years it's close to the time they die. Can't you give back those 20 years they gave you to them ? or are you too selfish and prefer to put them in luxury baracks instead and see them only once a month.
What part does the government has in it also? Don't forget that the budget distributions are not decided by the illigals but by the LEGAL citizens, through votes and politics. The government has the big vault with the money in it right? Why don't they taxe the 7 figure salaries approprietly. Why cut the rich people's taxes when they are the ones who can actually afford to pay more taxes. Corporations are the biggest source of budget fundings. Though for the sake of "employment encouragement" by the government they get taxes breaks, but I do not see them employing more or paying anyone else but their executive accordingly.

Seniors worked hard during their lives, they contributed with their lives in wars and in all the taxes they paid and still pay also. They vote just like everyone else. How could you even talk about them in such demeaning ways.

You got it wrong on both sides. It's neither the illigals nor the seniors fault.
Thank the government and the selfish citizens !
America is going to react soon. And it won't be pretty.

If I were a mudskin, I'd be buying my ticket far from America right now.
We should never treat seniors that way. After all,we too will become them someday. Illegals should not be protesting anything. They have no rights.
www.fairus.org is a good site to look at information on Illegal aliens. Also the Democrates want to pass Immigration Reform which would grant citizenship to the 12 million illegals already in America. Amnesty is not the answer if you ask me. The US needs to get rid of free health care for illegals and rewrite the 14th amendment. Throw those two things in with the employment verification system and illegals would stay in their own country.
Some of the answers sicken me....I am a senior but much luckier than some...I started working in the early 60's before the days of exorbiant salaries but I always "paid out" on SS before the end of the year..some were not so lucky... while I was working many were being forced to Vietnam to fight for our country, when my mother started working it was because most men were fighting WWII for our country.....it is dispicable that our country & some Americans think we should just lay down & die....what kind of country do they think we would be if we hadn't "done our part"...fortunately some Americans value our contribution, unfortunately our government does not! Some of these answerers must have on blinders not to be able to see the negative effects the illegals are having on our country & future generations...fortunately for the USA many seniors are still "doing our part" contacting congress trying to perserve our country, our constitution & way of life..if we fail tell me about your life in 10 years living in a country that has been turned into a third world , spanish speaking cesspool!

Many of us seniors still pay taxes, get $0 free health care, no food stamps, no free food, no free housing and flood your schools with an anchor baby EVERY 9 months & 1 day...we left you with a THE major world power..what will your legacy be??
It is a great country, unfortunately it does not place its own citizens first. Government leaders and judges need to interpret the Constitution in the spirit that it was intended. Our Founding Fathers are turning over in their graves at what has become of their original intent. How sad that political correctness has hijacked this country and replaced any semblance of common sense.
I believe that the answer by Kysteelgi said it all. you sissy little kids had better wake up.As time passes by you might be in for a big supprise and it will not be nice.Good luck to you
Maybe because the ones who cry the loudest get heard,In my generation,Im 39,we have been spoiled,we do not know what depression is like or what hardships are,we havent had to fight for what is ours it was our seniors who fought for this country so we can live the good life.We have been tought to love everyone and respect others and not be racist.It has gone to far when they (illegals)dont respect us,treat others like you want to be treated,illegals take and take,and its time we Americans take back what our seniors fought for,the freedoms of our country.And i want to add this,Kim and Kysteel are true Americans,they havent forgotten what it is to be a true American,We need to respect our seniors,someday we will be seniors,and we will want our kids to be as proud of us as we are of the ones who fought for our freedoms.
That is disgusting. Another proof that illegals are going to be the ruination of this country. They do not deserve to be here.

A lot of you peoples answers make me sick. How can you neglect the seniors or say that they no longer put into the economy or they are leaches. Only the sickest of the human race will think that way. They have worked hard and paid there dues so to speak. And remember you will be getting old too. What idiots!

If the Illegals are not thrown out of this country like they need to be, they are going to ruin it.

Why did they leave there country to come here? Because they already ruined there own country and it is not worth a crud anymore.
