The latest hate mail going around.

I got this in my email from a friend and a friend who knows I am Latina.

Strange how it's in the form of a chain letter and I was amazed at all the 'murikans who signed their names to it. If I weren't a decent person I would publish them on the internet.

Needless to say I wrote my friend back and told her never to send me this kind of racist hate mail again.

1. I don't even think it is true.

But it doesn't matter to racists.

2. When did the Senate do that?

I don't think it's true, either.

The truth is that Social Security may well be running on the contributions of undocumented workers who pay in and can never get a return. These people are ridiculous.
