Debbie Stabenow voted for Social Security for former illegal aliens

This site reprints a press release from the Michigan Federation for Immigration Reform and Enforcement.

On May 18, 2006 Senator Debbie Stabenow cast the deciding vote to kill an amendment, No. 3985, to the McCain-Kennedy Amnesty Bill S.2611. That amendment would have prevented illegal aliens from collecting Social Security benefits on wages earned using fraudulent numbers. Using fraudulent numbers is a common practice among illegal aliens and is a crime.

The vote to table this Social Security protecting amendment to the amnesty bill passed 50-49. Senator Stabenow cast the deciding vote to prevent this amendment from being part of the bill. There is no question that Stabenow voted to allow illegal aliens, those who commit identity theft, to gain access to our Social Security funds.

The purpose of the amendment to S.2611, the "Comprehensive Immigration Reform Act of 2006," as stated by the Secretary of the Senate, was as follows:

"Reduce document fraud, prevent identity theft, and preserve the integrity of the Social Security system, by ensuring that persons who receive an adjustment of status under this bill are not able to receive Social Security benefits as a result of unlawful activity."
