Speech #990021082

Congress has made numerous attempts to amend the Social Security Act to restrict payments to nonU.S. citizens living abroad. There are so many exceptions. however. that these provisions have had scant effect on limiting Social Security payments. As recently as 1983. legislation was introduced in Congress to reduce or eliminate Social Security moneys going abroad to aliens. Unfortunately. the only legislation which became law limited the benefits payable to the alien survivor. Illegal aliens residing in this country and nonU.S. citizens workers abroad are still collecting their monthly check from Social Security. Mr. President. I have spoken on numerous occasions about our problemriddled Social Security System.
