if they are here ILLEGALLY. we should not be rewarding them with the rights and benefits that come with being a LEGAL CITIZEN.

basically what we have done is say, we really dont have borders. you can come here and get free everything, gov loans etc. you come here and you will get treated better than those who were born here. We have special things set aside for you to help you. and your old, they can still have Social security benefits too even though they did not work all thier life in america and pay into it. same for medicare. we want all the poor immigrants to infiltrate us. yay!

Generally, you are eligible for Medicare if you or your spouse worked for at least 10 years in Medicare-covered employment and you are 65 years or older and a citizen or permanent resident of the United States. If you aren’t yet 65, you might also qualify for coverage if you have a disability or with End-Stage Renal disease (permanent kidney failure requiring dialysis or transplant).
Here are some simple guidelines. You can get Part A at age 65 without having to pay premiums if:
You already get retirement benefits from Social Security or the Railroad Retirement Board.

You are eligible to get Social Security or Railroad benefits but haven't yet filed for them.

You or your spouse had Medicare-covered government employment.
If you are under 65, you can get Part A without having to pay premiums if you have:
Received Social Security or Railroad Retirement Board disability benefits for 24 months.

End-Stage Renal Disease and meet certain requirements.
While you don’t have to pay a premium for Part A if you meet one of those conditions, you must pay for Part B if you want it. The Part B monthly premium in 2013 is $104.90. For additional details, visit www.Medicare.gov. It is deducted from your Social Security, Railroad Retirement, or Civil Service Retirement check. If you don’t get any of the above payments, Medicare sends you a bill for your Part B premium every 3 months.
Note: You will be eligible for Medicare when you turn 65 even if you are not eligible for Social Security retirement benefits.
If you have questions about your eligibility for Medicare Part A or Part B, or if you want to apply for Medicare, please call Social Security at 1-800-772-1213 or visit or call your local Social Security office. TTY users should call 1-800-325-0778. You can also get information about buying Part A as well as Part B if you don’t qualify for premium-free Part A.

You are required to pay higher premiums for Part B if your income falls into higher levels. As of 2011, if you file your tax return as married jointly, and if your income is higher than $170,000, you have to pay higher premiums for Parts B and D. If you have any other filing status, and if your income is higher than $85,000, you also must pay higher premiums

Why are we giving them assault weapons and keeping open their avenue for drugs and human trafficking/slavery/exploitation? What exactly is the objective?

Really, they work minimum wage jobs or get paid under the table...where do you think that they will first go for benefits>

You underestimate their work ethic, family unit, and sensibilities... while ignoring the real issue I presented.

The issue is that the country is going BROKE. We cannot afford to IMPORT more people unqualified for entry level jobs that demand government subsistence to survive. How many generations of immigrants will it take to get them to the average African American, Asian, or Caucasian with a college degree?

Immigrants are not eligible for govt. assistance unless they are citizens. How many times do you have to be told that?

According to a document provided to POLITICO, the deal would create a pathway to citizenship for the nation's 11 million illegal immigrants, but establishing that pathway could only come after the U.S. puts in place stricter enforcement measures. A different path to citizenship would be established for young individuals who came illegally to the country as children and agriculture industry workers.

The plan would also seek an overhaul of the legal immigration system to attract high-skilled workers, while adding tougher measures aimed at forcing employers to ensure they're hiring legal workers.

Many of the details have still yet to be worked out since the plan has not yet been drafted as legislation. The Democrats who have endorsed the plan are Sens. Chuck Schumer, Dick Durbin, Bob Menendez and Michael Bennet. The Republicans are Sens. John McCain, Marco Rubio, Lindsey Graham and Jeff Flake.
