text: I support the rights of citizens, naturalised or native born .  Legal aliens have a status of their own.  As far as SS  payments are concerned, it may be a price you pay for doing business here, or working here.  I think the benifits are for citizens but I am not an authority on this.   As far as I'm concerned, if you pay, you should receive.  What's broken?  SS is about bankrupt any way because fed. gov. borrows from it to pay for all kinds of things.  It may not be there for anybody in 20 years, but we all pay.  \n\nI hope they ( legal immigrants) support themselves, because I expect I am going to have to support myself.
