I would like to say to my friend. Mr. GINGREY. and I think he knows. that there was an amendment accepted in committee that addressed any concern that anyone might have with regard to any type of totalization agreement that this country might sign with a partner. friend. or ally which would require that any totalization agreement conform with existing American law and that no law. including immigration law. could be violated. Secondly. I think the gentleman is aware or should be aware that there is no way under existing law that anyone who does not have authorization to work in this country. including undocumented immigrants. qualify for receipt of Social Security benefits. Therefore. I would say to the gentleman that his amendment is not only unnecessary. not only overly prescriptive and not only harmful to American workers who are called to service in other countries. including Mexico. and as a result of their service. whether privately or publicly in these other countries. they are paying into a Social Security system which they may never have a chance to benefit from.
