Boat Intercepted Off the Texas Coast!

The Navy intercepted a boatload of people off the Texas coast today.

This placed the Navy in an awkward position as the boat was not heading to the USA, but towards Mexico and Central America.

Another surprise finding was the people were white American retirement age seniors. Their claim was that they were trying to get to Central America or Southern Mexico as they wanted to return to the US as illegal immigrants. Then they would be entitled to far more benefits than they were receiving as legitimate American retirees.

It is believed the Navy gave them food, water and fuel and assisted them on their journey.

I think our seniors are on to something. Maybe illegal status is the way to go - obviously the right to vote has very little value according to the RNC.

Interesting!!!!!!!

funny, sad and some true, Social Security doesn't even pay what interest would be if money had been put in a 401 or other fund. However once one reaches 65 medicare is better than insurance we have now.

Depends on the area, some doctors won't take medicare in urban areas. Plus, one must still pay for part B, and supplementary insurance, plus part D for drugs.

Social Security isn't just retirement income, it protects the young person who becomes disabled and has young kids.

If the doctor won't take medicare, I don't do business with him. It's real good insurance for $105(?) per month. The supplement plus medicine costs $402.10 for me and my wife. That's over $500 per month. In Alabama, almost everything is paid, in Tennessee where my wife goes, not much is paid. I don't know why there is a difference.
