The U.S. has totalization agreements with 20 other countries. However. all of these. except Canada. are with countries a substantial distance away. As a result. they involve relatively few workers and have little or no impact on illegal immigration. Unfortunately. the Mexican totalization agreement will be a huge incentive for increased illegal immigration. Under this agreement. if there is amnesty and a glide path to citizenship. illegal aliens will be able to qualify their work in the United States for Social Security funds. This would result in a huge increase in Social Security costs for the United States at a time when we are wrestling with reforming that system. We need to stop the totalization agreement and preserve Social Security.
