In this thread, instead of asking impractical PD dates, I suggested why don't we question the collection of SS and Medicare tax from H1 workers? So, is it incorrect to ask for this? I am not talking about Income Taxes. If you are laid of, will you get unemployment benefits? Job retraining. When illegal aliens can demonstrate and influence law makers, what is wrong for legal aliends in writing to lawmakers, newspapers etc. You see, we are resident aliens NOT LPRs (Legal Permanent Residents a.k.a Green Card Holders).Benefits for which you are paying social security tax, you are not eligible while on H1. We are asking for the rationale for collecting the Social Security Tax and Medicare, when you don't get its benefits. We are educatiing the various sections of American society, lawmakers, fourth estate.

We are not changing laws, we are petitioning.

Just a passing thought! I thought I should run this by you all. My wife works in the Child Welfare System and she helps broken families get back on their feet - while she is putting together their broken families - our family is still stranded in the system with no sign of moving forward. I am a recruiter and I recruit US Citizens in large numbers for large govt projects, offering them really high salaries - while I am helping them "indirectly" realize their American Dream - my dreams are nowhere in the horizon. that makes my tax contribution to about 90k-100k in 8years.I think thats huge and I am still waiting, for being a tax paying and law abiding citizen just because the Immigration system is broken. If I look at my W-2s from 2001 (when I started working), I must have consistently paid about 10k in taxes to the Federal Govt and another 3k to the State every year. I can say that I have been in this country since 1999 and still waiting. We can also add our stories in there to give that emotional/human touch - eg. Use of words like bonded etc can send a wrong signal. How about if we dont use words like bonded etc and just repeatedly request the system to be repaired.

That we they will hear from us every month - in bulk. How about if we frame a well thought out letter.and present facts and start mass mailing - maybe once a month - every month.
