Social Security cards are used by Senior Citizens as their insurance cards as well as people with disabilities. The little paper card does not last long. Why not provide a laminated secure card which would not only protect the system from illegals but from anyone who would try to steal benefits. It would not be a waste of benefits to provide this protection and only makes common sense. What other companies provide paper cards?? Not Visa, MC, most company ID’s military all have some sort of protection, if nothing else against the weather. This is not the 1800′s.

For a while, SS cards were laminated; my grandfather has one.

I agree. there is to much money spend in such stupid things. money that can be used for education or other important things.I also think that the Soldiers should stop fighting the presidents’ battle and come back to there nation.

I’m sorry but I have to disagree, so what if the Social Security system goes bust by the time we retire? The important thing is that we will have a Plastic social security card that we can keep for years to come and give to our grandkids. I think you should have included a realistic solution to the immigration problem. Such as shutting down the Staples corporation so Umberto cant buy Crayola crayons to sign their fake Social Security Cards.
