A new outrageous outrage is in the making out there and starting to create some traffic on twitter. It seems the Wounded American Warrior site has caught the government red-handed giving away social security to Mexicans! OK, well, not really…

VIDEO: Man caught bus load of illegals being given Social Security

A Tennessee man, Mike Morrison, posted 3 videos on Facebook which showed a bus load of illegals being dropped off at the Memphis Social Security Administration office.

They were all issued passports at the border and then the American tax payers funded their all day excursion around town. This went on all day and night as the illegals were given your money.

The Mexicans in the video are H-2A (temporary immigrant) seasonal workers, defined by the Dept. of labor as…

“The Immigration and Nationality Act (INA) authorizes the lawful admission of temporary (non-permanent), immigrant
workers (H-2A workers) to perform agricultural labor or services of a temporary or seasonal nature.” http://www.dol.gov/whd/regs/compliance/whdfs26.htm

Any employer of H-2A workers has to comply with IRS regulations as to employee withholding and tax payments and also Social Security withholding on wages paid. For Social Security the employer has to…

“Keep a record for each worker—Show the worker’s name, Social Security number (copy it only from the Social Security card), cash wages paid and taxes you withhold. If the farm worker is subject to the Migrant and Seasonal Agricultural Workers Protection Act, the record also must show: the rate of pay; total hours worked each day and each week; the date that wages were paid; and the period of time covered by the payment.” Link

So cheer up folks, even though those farm laborers are required to pay into the Social Security trust they cannot collect from it. Not unless they later become naturalized American citizens that is. They get their pay to take back to Mexico minus withholding taxes and we get to keep all the taxes.
