They should not be deprived of that opportunity simply because they didnt fulfill those 40 quarters all in the U.S. That is what totalization agreements are about. They have to benefit our country. otherwise they wouldnt be reached. For anyone to say otherwise is to mask an argument. perhaps the issue of immigration. at the expense of American workers who are trying to get their pension and future retirement benefits under Social Security. So I would hope that the Members here in the House would recognize that we wont reach any totalization agreement with any country unless it is in our interest. Secondly. it shouldnt be just one country that is singled out if a totalization agreement Is bad.
