I just received an email stating that this past week the Senate voted

[napi21]

to allow illegal immigrants access to SS benefits. I checked Snopes, and all I found was a statement that emails like this are ineffective.
because of who I received this email from, I'm sure it's not true, but I can't find any documentation to prove to them that they're wrong.

Ya know, I really like the lady who keeps sending me this stuff, and she's a very smart & well educated teacher, but damn, she's sooo gullible when it come to Pub BS!

5. I can't believe what crooks are doing

to instill fear on the American people. Since there are no more code-colored bogus alerts, people will resort to anything to annul the sense of hope and unity that this election has created.

Beware, the illegals are coming, the illegals are coming...

My hope is that Barack will stand by his promise and pass immigration reform in his first year, putting a stop to this madness before we start seeing immigrants, undocumented or not, being stoned on the streets.
