If he paid his taxes all these years, *the government either owes him benefits or a complete refund.*
With interest

Living in the US is not free.
@donaldkasper8346 ?
crime should not pay, deport him and annex Canada as payment.
They should give him his SS. He paid his taxes
He stole my job
@@smilessmiles7906 he didnt steal nothing you stole his life
@@mattschehr163 wouldn't have happened if we built the wall.
He'll get it.
Hell, they won't give me social security(born in New Jersey) because they said I didn't have enough credits!
When it’s time to pay out, all of a sudden you’re not from here.
You just described Politics :O
He just got robbed !!
Sounds like a casnio!
If you were born in Canada, then you’re not a US citizen I think that’s common sense
@@coastallivingmississippi188It's not his fault that he was illegally sent here. this is the only country he has ever known to be able to truly call home, it's only right for America to just call him a legal citizen.
How did they not catch this when he was paying into it? We will gladly accept your money but won’t tell you that you won’t get it back. That called stealing
the govt. and he made a mistake. he must pay for it. like the 10 million biden illegals must re-pay the taxpayers or be deported!
In the years before 1970 Visa holder get social security card. many people work on it and never get the benefits.
No one cares where you come from. The evidence is palpable when the push to allow people from all over the world to come into our borders and give them money from hard working tax payers is all over the news. The problem is when you lived here, become a patriot, and fight for this country, then work all your life paying into it to make it better, all of a sudden you are not worthy of getting back what you put in. They were just looking for an excuse to give his money to someone else other than some "problematic" elderly white man who bleeds red white and blue.
Many illegals, like this guy, work and pay into social security.
The Social Security Administration never complained when they took money out of his paycheck when he worked for 50+ years
Exactly!
This is why you don't let government control your retirement money.
@@JamesWillis-yy5pxbingo! This is why you don't let them control SQUAT! Inebt, insufferable, shady, sheisty thieves. The WHOLE lot of em
he needs to go back where he belongs. illegal immigrant is an illegal immigrant.
Exactly,but when have you known a thief to admit their a thief? Only one I know was nailed to a cross next to Jesus Christ 🙏🙏🙏🇬🇧
Funny how AFTER he has paid all his life that NOW it is discovered he isn’t a citizen. Paid taxes. Served in military. Voted. He is a great citizen! Seriously, NEVER discovered until NOW?
mexicans served in the us military and were still deported, he voted, which means he's a foreigner meddling in our elections. something republicans accuse democrats of doing. now you say it's all good? then according to you, we should naturalize ALL people who pay taxes, vote and serve in the miltary. sounds good to me
If he served 1 year or more in the military he becomes eligible for naturalization.
He outlived his usefulness, that's why they found out.
He's too patriotic. They want illegals here, not good American people who love this country.
He never served in the military. He signed up for the Marines but never went to basic training. That actually shows me he is deceptive.
It's funny how they have no problem collecting money from you, but the second they owe you ANYTHING, it's like pulling teeth. PAY THAT MAN! Either refund every dollar he paid in taxes, or SSI. Unbelievable‼
Nope. Deport. You’re here illegally, you get deported. No exceptions.
"I moved here in 1959."

wow bro its as if we watched the same video
good for you though stating your favourite part and all

Funny how they figure this out just on time to screw him out of his money. Pay this man! This is disgusting!
His money? He's an illegal. It's not his money.
Sounds like what all immigrant children go through. They are brought here as children, pay taxes, vote, and are law abiding citizens. But get deported to a country they don't even know.
Only reason this guy is getting attention, he's white 🤷🏽♀️
what money. He had someone else's ssn he used his entire life.
He's an illegal
@@Dead_Goat lets put our best man on the case
He's owed one hell of a tax refund.
God forbid the government uses any common sense
No, He is Canadian citizen. He owes US government money for decades of over staying in USA.
I have news for you. Illegal immigrants pay a lot of taxes.
No investigate illegals
@@pongmolina2157 Actually he needs to go to Canadian prison for tax evasion!
What a disappointment. After spending his whole life serving a country to be told that! They've got another think coming
the biggest disappointment was how long it took to find this illegal.
He spent his whole life taking jobs from real Americans.
This man signed over his life to the government to serve in the military, later became a police officer, got a Social Security card, voted, and paid his taxes for 4+ decades, but isn't a citizen? How the hell does that make sense?
Citizenship is through a parent or granted by a court. If neither applies, you are an immigrant, legal or illegal. But citizenship should not be the issue for SS when he paid into the system for 50 yrs.
@@KJ-md2wjCanada could say he is not a citizen then he left at 2 meaning he is stateless
The system is broken
@@bradleywilson5641 In Canada, if you were born as a Canadian, you're always a Canadian unless you renounce your citizenship. Anyway, he needs his dad's school records.
He never served in the military. He applied. He got a social security card probably because he was in his dad's home state, looked like a regular white kid from the area, gave them a school ID and got an SS#. His dad never applied for citizenship for him. A big "oops", so a bureaucrat later realized he didn't have status as either a legal foreigner or a citizen, so he has to clear that up by getting his dad's records. That's what probably what happened.
He paid into social security for 50 years. If they don't pay him, they should pay him back everything he paid in + interest... and they shouldn't be able to tax that.
In his case, he's a citizen, but even if he had Canadian citizenship only, he is still eligible to collect Social Security.
Yes absolutely 💯
NAW DAWG
He’s dad is American. So he’s American. Even know his dead is deceased. All he gotta do is file for an American passport with his dad documents and he should be good. He need evidence tho for ten years and I believe that’s where he has the problem. So he should try to go back to the schools his father went to and jobs his father worked at and they should write a statement that he lived in the USA.
@@dfaro8453 he has even voted
How's the man not a US Citizen when he's got a Social Security Card legally issued in his name to him by the federal government, has been allowed to vote, pay taxes, and all that crap. This is absurd.
I presume he's not a US Citizen as he never applied for US citizenship, same as anyone else born in a foreign country, and having that country's citizenship before moving to USA. I also assume that he never applied for a US passport as that would have shown that he wasn't a US citizen.
All it takes is a missed signature. There's a lot of people from the 60s that are illegal and don't know it.
@@dermotlynch2223 "I presume he's not a US Citizen as he never applied for US citizenship" In these cases, what is applied for is a certificate of citizenship, not citizenship itself.
This man is a natural born U.S. citizen, and such all his life.
@@r.j.dunnill1465He was not born in the US, so he’s not a citizen. Citizenship from one’s parent is not automatic. There are eligibility requirements (such as father living in the US for at least 10 years before the child’s birth) and it has to be applied for. His father should have done that. Now he’s dead and this man doesn’t have documents to prove that he’s eligible.
@@TheMamamarieke He was born to a citizen parent who met the residency requirements, so he is a natural born citizen.
For him, it's a matter of proving to USCIS that his father met the residency requirements. And that might be challenging, because after all this time, the documentary evidence of his father's early life might be gone.
What is blatantly missing in this discussion is his birth certificate. Being born in Canada automatically makes him a citizen. Moving to the US his parents would have to apply for his American citizenship. He wasn't born in the US and his father was living in Canada for the most part. Birth Certificates are required for primary education, drivers licenses, social security number, marriage licenses, joining the military the list is endless. Why has he saved all of the old drivers licenses and voter registrations? That's because he knew and New York/New Jersey is also responsible for this mess. Since the US has a tax treaty with Canada this guy can receive his full Social Security once he moves back to Canada. All of this could have been avoided if the immigration rules had been followed.
Yes.
The fact that the feds are accusing him of not being a citizen ONLY after he asks them for his money back, per their contract with him, tells you that he is absolutely a citizen, and the feds are just looking for an excuse to swindle him. If he weren't a citizen, that would've come out a LONG time ago, such as when he enlisted. It is far too convenient that the moment he's eligible for social security benefits, suddenly he's "not a citizen." If the yotes and terrorists crossing our borders illegally can get benefits the moment they invade, this good American man needs to be given what he's paid into without questioning where he's actually from.
@@AtarahDerekall part and parcel of living in a banana republic
@@AtarahDerek
Yeah I’m a government employee and trust me the government will find any way to avoid paying you what you are deserved. Any person who serves in the US military should get American citizenship as a reward.
Wait, people who crossed the border illegally have more rights and benefits than this man. This is disgusting. 😡
Oh yeah I’m fuming
Interesting that the same people who are aggressively anti illegal immigration are essentially arguing to have this man deported.
Name one.
Many undocumented workers pay into SS but are not eligible to receive a SS check when they are old. Been happening that way for years. So, no.. "illegals" do not have more rights than this man (Although he obviously should receive his benefits.. of course he should!)
no this is what the taxpayers have allowed biden to do to them!
IF HE'S BEING DENIED THEN GIVE HIM HIS MONEY BACK!!! The government had no problem stealing your money for years.
Amen!
Yes! 100% of all that he put in.
He owes the US for 50 yr wages he legally didn't even earn. That'll be $1.5 million please and $1.2 million to Canada.
@@jonesnbones NO! He is not responsible for the GOVERNMENT’S oversight! Learn to use that God Given brain for cryin out loud! 🙄 He does not owe the government a red cent!
They are the ones who gave him all the requisite “permissions” to work legally. You can’t work without a SS number and other documents in the US, which were erroneously provided to him by the US government! The fact that they just realized their mistake, is not this individual’s problem. He’s Canadian, and probably moved to Florida for the warm weather. He could’ve just as easily earned a roughly similar wage working in Canada!
Even if one is not a citizen, they still pay taxes and social security is still deducted. That being said, hopefully they will resolve this quickly and give the man his social security.
The most American non-American man in the world. 😂🎉
Just like Ted Cruz.
He should be happy now he can apply for all of Bidens handouts
just make sure you're here legally before you vote for Trump
These are the people MAGA wants to push out of our country including combat vets.
“WAS” cause he’s going back to being Canadian 🍁
He did his duty. He paid his taxes. He got the appropriate ID.He did everything right. Give him his damned money.
You don’t need to be a US citizen to collect your social security. Even legal residents will collect.
I'm sure the IRS didn't have any issues collecting his income tax for 50 years.
HE'S A WHITE ILLEGALL, DEPORT DEPORT DEPORT
Because he had a social security number. They don't care or research. Only collect.
The IRS doesn't create federal laws. Congress does. The one woman said the laws related to this changed over time. The public has been programmed to obsess over executives and not care who is in the legislative branches -- the most important of the three branches.
If this guy held a security clearance while in the military, he should ask them to go through archived records. Back then, foreigners weren't eligible for one. Investigators would have documented that he's a US citizen. It's interesting that he applied early for SS benefits and kept old driver's licenses and ID cards. Maybe he's known he never had US citizenship and would run into problems someday.
@@chronos401 Agreed. I said the very same thing. He knew.
@@chronos401 You're projecting to justify your bias.
This is ridiculous. The man has an American father, was raised in this country, paid his taxes, and served his country. That's a citizen.
He is a trump maga, deport him. He deserves to be deported.
no he is an illegal immigrant who committed serious and repeated fraud and should be immediately deported
Can't let slide illegals because you like them
What else could this man have possibly done to be seen as a citizen?!? He was good enough to be born to an American father, live here his entire life, good enough to tax him , good enough to enlist and have him serve this damn country…. BUT…. NOT good enough to pay him what this country try owes him? This is a disgrace!!! He IS WHAT BEING AN AMERICAN IS ALL ABOUT!!!!
@@sarahn3714 That man himself would want anybody in the same circumstances but not white kicked out of the country, in fact he himself advocates for that and votes for the party and person that promises to imprison anybody who is illegal as soon as possible
Dude served in the Marines and was a Law Enforcement Officer. He has earned his citizenship
He didn't serve! He did what US residents/green card holders do - work, pay taxes, etc! He did something illegal though - HE VOTED! He should be in jail for that!
Signed up and was accepted never severed
Why are people lying, all the time.
I didn't see a DD214 or anything from NJ police.
You gotta have a passport.
I know someone here 43 years no status. Not a citizen, no green card, no valid passport from any country ... gets medicaid and food stamps. Crazy.
Father - US citizen, wife - US citizen, AND served in U.S. military. Three ways this man should be awarded citizenship without question!
Mayorkas won't allow it and neither will Chuckie Schumer.
He was born in Canada, He never applied for US citizenship.
@@pongmolina2157can you even read?
So should all the other illegal immigrants who pay taxes and have families
It doesn't work that way immigration is f up
How can he have a SS card and not be a citizen? Dude should get a lawyer and sue the federal government.
Lots of illegal immigrants, like him, have SS cards.
I guess you don't live in a border state huh...lmao! Texas basically survives off of illegal immigrant taxes to the tune of billions a year. BTW, if you are not a citizen, you cannot sue for taxes paid. He shouldn't mention his illegal voting like he did either. He could spend the rest of his retirement in prison.

@ogadlogadl490 I agree. Either pay him his benefits or refund the money he contributed.
Just fix his immigration status, he's been a law abiding citizen, and served this country honorably.
That's too easy what she just said
Law abiding? He's an illegal immigrant who has been illegally voting in federal elections for decades. He'll be lucky if he doesn't wind up in prison for the rest of his life.
He's actually an illegal alien by law and should be deported back to Canada. No more lazy illegals!
He never actually served. He applied and was qualified to serve, but he decided to take a union job someplace else.
Law abiding people don't vote while they are illegal
The man is a US citizen, full stop!
I don't understand... his father was an American citizen, so why isn't he?
I'm willing to bet he's not the only one that has no idea they're not US citizens!
If trump and the maggots overthrow the government, hundreds of thousands of people are going to be forced out of the country in mass deportations even if they have been here all their life.

A good lawyer can help this man.
Doubt it, he would have to get his citizenship as a derivative citizenship. Meaning he has to prove his deceased father lived in the US for a defined time. By the sound of it he can’t prove that.
And a good amount of money to pay the lawyer😊
Send the French fries and gravy eater back to Africa.
No lawyer can help him they have unlimited funding.
A good senator (Scott?) can help him.
"... and he voted ..."
That is dangerous
The FACT he served in our military should be enough to give him his retirement without any questions being asked!!!
How many times does someone have to correct the idea that he served in the military, He said he only applied to serve.
this is insane. just give him the citizenship. he has even served the country as police and in the military. literally putting his life in danger for USA.
He IS a citizen. He has to prove that to USCIS.
His genealogist is likely acquiring school records, tax returns and other proof that his father was not only born in the U.S., but spent the first 23 years of his life in the U.S. (as evidenced by the 1930, 1940 and 1950 U.S. censuses).
Likely more than most other citizens have...

@@broca246 I wonder if his father became a naturalized American citizen rather than a being homegrown. Maybe that made some difference
how often do you hear about this at all? are you an immigration lawyer or something?
@@ducknorris233 A "natural born" citizen requires his father or mother to be born in the US. Otherwise, I'm not really sure. For any person to be born to an American though, born or otherwise, should make him an American. There is no legal distinction between an American born in the US and one born outside the US as far as one being more "real" than the other. A US citizen is a US citizen. The only difference is that a citizen that was naturalized (not born here) can have his citizenship taken away for specific crimes. In this man's case though, that's not really relevant. He was born of a US citizen and is therefore a US citizen. I think it would be insane to have any law that states otherwise and I don't believe on exists. (Although I could be wrong, it seems like that would be illegal for such a law to exist).

I had the same problem when I applied for social security. Their records stated I was not a citizen because their computer data showed I was an alien. I was born in Germany when my father was stationed there as a soldier. My mother was a naturalized American. I represented my report of birth of us citizens and my certificate of US citizenship. It still took several weeks to resolve. They stated that unless I resolved it. I would not get social security and they would reimburse me of just the money I paid in. Thank my parents to have the foresight to get the documents I need when I was born and my certificate of citizenship. Oh by the way I served 26 years in the Air Force and retired as a Colonel.....

Greetings from Germany! If you come here, you don't even need the citizenship for any social security payments. Your only problem would possibly be, that you come from a western country and are even an educated person... German government favours other people.
That's unfair! When my grandfather came into America and showed his legal SS member card he was placed under arrest and convicted of crimes against humanity!
If he can’t have SS then pay him back what he put in
When I was 17, I applied for a Passport to go on a trip to Europe. I was born in Germany, my mother is German, my Father is American and was in the Military. I was lacking a government form from the Army proving birth of a child to an American abroad. Otherwise, my father would have to prove he was American with a very long list of items they wanted, which were almost impossible to obtain since the town he lived and was born in was destroyed in a flood in Pennsylvania. Long story shorter, I found the form in our attic, after sweating for several hours in the heat of the attic. Got my Passport!
Congrats! I hope the trip was amazing for you.
I can’t say i had any difficulties getting US citizenship… i did all I could then gave up and two years later they called me to put my blues and attend citizenship ceremony

Not Legal....well then....give this man free Health care, set him up in a 5 star Hotel, a $10,000 credit card, free catered meals and tax payer funded legal services.
Duh?
You joke. There are disabled people (my son) who are informed that they don't qualify for SSI. If he was a Salvadoran gang member, he'd be set for life. Your tax dollars at work.
@@purplesprigs Yes keep showing us your bigotry. Since he has white skin, he and his family don't have to follow the rules? Really?
@@AuroStormit's the brown people in government changing the rules, by all accounts he followed them until the goal posts got moved
You just said he was born in New York,then a second later you said he moved to the USA when he was 2 can't be both
At the very least, he should get a refund for his SS taxes withheld all these years. With interest.
It's interesting that they never cared about the details when the money was going their way.
EXACTLY!
They won't give him that money back, I couldn't get mine back they kept taking out of my paycheck.
@@HammyJamPants that’s the way it is for all immigrants working in the US, they pay taxes but will never see it back, this guy is the norm
No he should be treated as the American he is.
Pay him, he’s owed. This is Social Security fraud if I ever saw one.
Yes he should be paid but social security feaud???
Taking his taxes then not paying out to him after 50 years of working, yes. And it's no fault of his.
Right! And at the minimum if they dont do that then theny 100% should pay him every penny he has ever paid to social security.
Or is it immigration fraud?
Nope. Undocumented workers ALL have Social Security removed. And because they are illegal, they receive nothing.
I guess he needs to be deported ASAP.
😡Ooooh hell no!!!!
‼️Okay so they can give him back all of the money he paid into the system all of those years with interest and he can retire very well on that! ‼️
This legal status discrepancy should have discovered decades ago.
He probably been voting all this time too. But no proof of illegals voting, right?
Yep, and he'd likely have filed for U.S. Citizenship following the Immigration Reform and Control Act of 1986.
He obviously never travelled anywhere. Lots of dopes like him never get a passport.
Illegals can go back to where they came from.
@@TheToxicP lol, my comment on illegal voting got deleted.
His Father being an American makes him an American legally.
Needs to apply for Delayed Registration of Birth Abroad.
His father needed to declare his foreigner (UN-Canadian) status. So.. he, upon birth abroad would have been given dual citizenship. And been assigned a SS Number. I bet his father was a draft dodger during the Korean war or Vietnam. Thousands of American men fled to Canada. I bet he won't be the first born in Canada to American father's that this will happen. Many American men went to Canada in hiding.
His Father being an American Citizen, it doesn’t matter where He is born. He is an American Citizen at Birth by blood. This is another case of social security not wanting to pay benefits to someone who rightfully deserves them and nowadays, social security has become the FBI of sorts trying to figure out how to deny benefits to anyone for any reason. Also, He served in the Military and as a Law Enforcement Officer as well. Once again, NO nation in the World treats its Veterans worse than the United States. Sir, THANK YOU for your Honorable Service!! 🇺🇸
Immigration laws are constantly changing. It is a tragedy what this man is suffering, but if the father was an American citizen and the son was born in another country, the father must prove that he was living for x number of years in the USA. American citizenship is automatic by soil not by blood. Let's hope he finds a good lawyer and solves everything for him 🙏.
They should grant him his application to citizenship and give him his money!
He overpaid the government for decades. They owe him A LOT of back pay. This man is actually entitled by Americas standards and the country screwed him, they need to make it right.
Nope. All non-citizens, legal and illegal, pay income taxes, social security taxes, property taxes, sales taxes, hotel taxes, liquor taxes, gasoline taxes, etc. Stop the cry baby whining. He ain't a citizen. Sorry your parents screwed up. Unfair happens ev day.
@@henrybutchy3242 he paid, they pay him his money, easy math pal. Nice effort tho 👏
This is ridiculous. Surely he has some local politicians to step in for him.
A good attorney can help him. This happened to my Great Grandmother. She and her husband were led to believe they were citizens after they came from Canada in 1929. In the 60's when she retired she was informed the company that brought her and her husband here never finished the paperwork. She voted, she paid taxes, she worked and raised a family here. But they allowed her to become a citizen and paid her. He needs a better attorney.
They should have looser rules. Canada's practically America!
Make him a citizen now, please. He's practically already one. Please give him his benefits.
If his father was a U.S. citizen then he is too. This video is so full of holes.
@@terry_willis That's not how it works, especially patrilineal. The denial is BS. You file for permanent residence, and become a citizen the day you set foot in the US in this situation. He will need to get Trump involved. It will get sorted when he takes office most likely.
He was born to an american father, so he was born with american citizenship....
@@ingiford175 That's not how it works. Read the law before spouting off.
@@afdkj Let's say a married couple both US citizens travel to Europe and the mother has a baby in Europe. You're telling me that that baby is NOT a U.S. citizen?
That’s completely wild… if he paid into it he should be allowed to have what he put in
What a relief it must be discovering you're NOT a u.s. citizen. He IS American since he was born in Canada and last time I looked, Canada was on the American Continent. I'd move back to Canada in an instant if I were him, must be such a relief to return to the civilised world after spending so much time in the backwater.
They said he was married. That should make him a citizen. Maybe the government will refund evey penny he paid into it
Plus interest
marrying make you permanent resident, but only after Consular officer or USCIS officer approval. Situation is stupid though. There should be some smart mechanism to solve this issue.
Getting married to a citizen does not make you a citzen. Why do people not understand this?
His father was American, that would make him an American as well by birth.
Wrong! Born outside usa, the you are a foreigner.
There is no question that this should be cleared up within a month, this man deserves what he helped build.
He helped to build nothing. He lives in a trailer park; he’s no Rockefeller. He stole from the US system and lied.
I don't believe so. Many people pay taxes in this country but aren't eligible for certain US benefits.
@@LifeBetweenTheDash He paid into Social Security, it is his right. The onus is on the government, it was their clerical error... an oversight.
Deport him back to Canada. Let them deal with him.
He is not a citizen 😂😂😂 We got rules for a reason
man our government needs to be sued so hard for so much. this is barely scratching the surface on all the bad it does to us.
How many people have he told to go back to their country?
His father is an American so he is an American.
nope. Born on American soil, American military base, or naturalized makes you an American citizen. That old white male is at best a Dreamer. At worst he is a felon and should be prosecuted for voter fraud.
That is what I was taught in high school, but I read the laws. It only applies if both parents are citizens and he is born in the US
@@radolfkalis4041 Not true. If you are born abroad, only one parent has to be a citizen.
@@radolfkalis4041 NOT TRUE at all.
Ever heard of "Anchor Babies" where the parents are ILLEGALS! All they do birth the kid on US soil and the kid is a citizen. The parents get to stay to raise the kid. We are the only country stupid enough to have this policy.
@@rseward7183 In Germany, I met an American who'd never been here. His father was a US serviceman stationed in Germany. When he turned 18 he choose US citizenship and has never been here a day.
Absolutely gross neglect of the US Government. Pay him!
They don’t have any problems paying illegal immigrants lots of cash 💰 but a U.S. citizen who’s worked and paid in he’s entire life. 50 years of paying in Social Security ! This mess needs to get straightened out. And the US government stop giving away US citizens benefits! Or every hard working citizen will move away. Then All the USA will have left is illegals who have zero intentions of ever working or paying taxes.
It seems that the neglect was from his parents...
You need to be re- educated stop being dumb!@@user-cf2px2ko8y
Somebody didn't watch the video but decided to comment anyway
It's a government psyop. This poor guy is just a pawn.
Illegal status has already proven that it doesn't prevent you from receiving benefits under the Biden Dictatorship
Time to sue Social Security and get his money back with interest. Then move to Canada. What a mess they created.
Now he knows how feels calling people illegal!
He's a citizen. This is evil.
He's a canadian citizen who came here when he was 2 and worked and voted illegally.
@@huntforagefish4730 Use you're brain. His father is American making him legally a dual citizen.
The problem is there is no proof of that. He could be illegitimate or his parents could have lied, etc. Very difficult situation. The best outcome is for them to somehow make an exception without creating a precedent. That said, he paid SS, so he should receive it back. They shouldn't be allowed to let him pay and then not pay him back.
@@PeteQuad Sure. After sentencing him for illegal voting
@@huntforagefish4730 this is the very reason prosecutorial discretion exists. No one would ever charge him because it would be wrong.
This is a lawsuit that I wouldn't mind if my taxes paid for. That man is a U.S. citizen and has served his country in more ways than one
Your taxes are paying for this lawsuit. Unfortunately you are paying for the US government to fight this man at every level.
I would rather my taxes be spent to pay the benefits this man is owed rather than to fight him.
@@hewhohasnoidentity4377 Your correct. What I mean is you know how we have to pay for police when they mess up? Which I believe should come out of the agency itself and not our tax dollars. In this case I don't have a problem with it. When government messes up the people should pay. But when police mess up they should be treated like private businesses in that case. I mean they are a private entity that we pay for for some reason
@@Jmacz in this case the law screws the individual in every way. The man has to pay his own legal bills to repeatedly appeal and keep the case alive through the system. If he wins, he gets his benefits, at most back dated to when they should have been paid. He still has to pay for all of the legal expenses.
The government will try to keep the case going fighting him. The government has unlimited resources to fight and the government has no concern about passing away. The government can fight as long as it takes. They fight not just to avoid paying him, but others like him. The government has nothing to lose.
Your comparison with police wrongdoing is great in theory. The problem is that the law allows police misconduct to be compensated with attorney fees. Attorneys line up for these cases because everyone can get paid.
Social Security benefits, with very few exceptions, you are on your own for legal fees. He could fight for 10 years and win, and spend 20 years of benefits paying attorneys.
Welcome to the free world of the United States of America!
He never actually served. He applied and was qualified to serve, but he decided to take a union job someplace else.
@@markc13579 he still served his country in more ways than one, just not in the capacity of a military service member.
if his bio dad is a US citizen, WTF is the problem
Sounds like there was a clerical error, and instead of taking 5 minutes to fix it the SSA decided to double down on their mistake, betting he can't launch a suit.
Ask for full refund WITH INTEREST That’s the government’s mistake.
SUE THE U.S. government and fight for what’s yours!
No, he was an illegal and committing fraud. Those people don't get their money back.
@@Tugela60 exactly! uncle sam doesnt care if you are illegal or legal as long as you are benefiting uncle sam. its when you try to get something from uncle sam, then it becomes a problem, and any reason for uncle sam to not give, is good reason enough. There are millions of people paying INTO social security, that will not get a penny of it. individuals that have paid over 250,000 into, but by law when the times come, they cannot get any back. some of these people include DACA recipients, VISA holders who are not on path to citizenship. spouses who have work permits but are not in line for citizenry. all illegal immigrant workers who use the TAX ID work around and create businesses that are legal on heir behalf. and many many more. Boomers continue to steal money from all future generations even though they had it the easiest out of all generations in USA. still today they siphon trillions from the new generations, straight into their pockets. these are the people who could maintain a household with three children two cars, vacations, and college for them all, with only one job at a factory. those people, still sucking the money making it easier for themselves. dont worry though, their great grandchildren will feel the collapse when there is nothing left to siphon. byt that time tho, they will all be dead or close to, having lived a wonderful comfy life on the backs of their children and grandchildren.
Your ignorance is concerning. You can't sue the US government.
@wolfmantroy6601 your ignorant is concerning you can sue the govt.
@@wolfmantroy6601 Yes you can. Not for damages, but to compell them to do something.
How is it even possible to have a social security number and drivers license, but not actually be a citizen? And after 64 years?
😅 There were also gun licenses in that montage.
Ever heard of a green card?
@@JR-lw3msHe didn't have one because he was assumed to be a citizen.
It is just a number from the government so they can take money. You can be a citizen of the US without it, but of course the government makes it so hard to live within society without that number.
@@irishdaisy1628 okay sovereign citizen
he lives on the complete opposite side what the hell are people thinking. He is not even close to Canada.
The same issue has happened to people in the UK, and it can rages ages to sort out. I wish him luck.
Going back to Canada won’t solve your problem! Stay and fight your case!
Illegal
Canada will welcome him with open arms and all their social programs. They won’t pull this garbage with him.
He's an illegal alien. He needs to go home.
Coming back here will only make things worse for him.
Sure it will. He'll get a much better medical system and better social safety net.
If our government doesn't want to pay him his Social Security benefits because they say it isn't really a citizen, then it seems he's due a full refund of 50 years of social security withholding's from his past paychecks, with interest.
He also owes US government money for decades of illegally staying in USA.
@@pongmolina2157And paying taxes and serving in your military?
@@pongmolina2157your comment makes no sense... Owing what? When you're already paying the taxes... It is a whole different thing.
@@pongmolina2157 lol how stupid can you be. he paid taxes and paid more on top of that for retirement. you the type of person who would switch sides right away if you found out your mom was a whore and pumped you out in canada and didn't tell your dad who went away for cigarettes but you're pretty sure thats not your case so you enjoy pointing fingers
You make a good point.
So basically he’ll have no money to live, be thrown out of his house, not able to pay taxes, so in terms of that he’ll no retirement. I’d be pissed 😤
Should have filed proper paperwork!
He is paying taxes and he is voting… he served and protected people. He is a citizen to me.
He definitely should be grandfathered in.
You don't give him his Social Security under the old system and then invalidated under the new laws.
No such thing as "grandfathered" citizenship. If he were black or brown, you'd be screaming "get his nasty a$$ outa my magat country"
Not an old system in his case. The law is the same. Born abroad, you have to register to become an American citizen. His parents did exactly what all the other "Dreamer" parents have done. Not followed the law.
@@LifeBetweenTheDash Sort of. If you are granted entry to the US legally as a resident, you become a citizen exactly at the same time you become a resident in his particular case of lacking days abroad. There's also vectors via grandparents. If the grandparents qualified by time he would too, hence the looking for genealogical documents. Any fact narrative though, the Blinken administration is pure scum.
@@LifeBetweenTheDash his father was american, what you talking about. Even in the most stupid case his kids can apply for his permanent residence, or wife etc.
He was never in legal status here.
So he’s not getting his benefits but migrants who come illegally get free hotel and food.. Give this man his money that he deserves!!
Exactly 💯
Well, isn’t that the issue? That he came here illegally?
@MahanFan1 He’s fully integrated, works, paid taxes. Dresses talks and acts like the general population. There is a glaring difference between him, and people coming from the slums of whatever 3rd world country you can imagine, openly stating upon arrival that they are here strictly for personal gain while continuing to sing the praises of their backward home countries.
He is an illegal immigrant just like the people crossing the border. What part of “illegal immigrant” you don’t understand?
Not true!
We're from the federal government. We're HERE to help!
This is the kind of story that makes me upset when I find out someone who illegally came over the boarder last week is getting benefits.
Give him all his money back with interest.
Can't do that. His SS contributions have already been diverted to feed and house current illegal immigrants.
Illegals who came over the border should get nothing but this poor man payed taxes
