In a nutshell, the senators listed did vote, but the vote wasn't about "giving illegal aliens Social Security benefits"; it was about whether formerly illegal aliens (who had since become legal) should be credited for monies they themselves had paid into the Social Security fund while they were in the U.S. illegally. The senators listed above did not vote in favor of this proposition; they voted to withdraw the amendment from consideration.

So, in reality, they took an anti-illegal immigration stance. This goes to show, you can't always believe what you get in an email.
