Thanks to everybody that helped me.

Hi,
I got a social security card when I first came as a student (F1) that had the legend "Valid to Work Only with DHS Authorization". Now my current immigration status is Permanent resident. How can I remove that legend from my social security card?
Does my green card replaces any EAD?
Please Help me!!!

"Living in the US is the biggest benefit itself" <<< that's just your opinion. My parent will not necessarily agree with your opinion. Fortunately enough, they live in a place where potable water, food and all the stuff you mentioned is not an issue.. perhaps you have not visited Mexico and don't have na clear picture of the country.
Of course I know sponsoring my parents is a parent/me decision - The purpose of posting my original question was to be better informed as my parent have certainly asked me questions about why should they become residents...
so what I do not remember the date I became a US citizen... does that makes me a worst person or citizen of this country? I'm not perfect....

Of course... is not like I just pick up the phone and tell them this is what you all going to do. Like I said before, they are willing to do it but they don't plan on staying and living in the US for the rest of their lives. They are OK with applying for a US visa every 5 years or so. I wanted to see if there were other benefits other than not having to apply for a visa every 5 years or so. The replies just confirms my theory that there aren't and it would be a waste of their time and a waste of my money to process their application when they are perfectly happy enjoying their life at home.

Let's clarify some facts that I should of have included in my original post:
- Why should I make my parents US residents?
* They don't care about welfare, medicare, food stamps, social security, etc. (neither do I) Luckily enough, they live pretty comfortable and have everything they need.
* They are not interested in spending the rest of their days in the US
* They are perfectly fine applying for Visas at the US embassy in Mexico city every 5 years or whenever they have the need for it
* They are not interested in getting a working permit or anything that will allow them to work as they are happily enjoying retirement back home
* Whether one country is better than the other is irrelevant for this question
The intent of the post/question was for me to learn what are the "benefits" of being a resident considering the facts above. As stated in previous posts, there aren't any and it only reinforces my theory that my family member has no clue of what he is talking about.
Last but not least... what do I consider a benefit? I would consider a benefit the fact that they could come and go as they pleased without having to apply for a visa. I certainly don't consider a benefit welfare, medicare or anything along those lines.

So, the consensus seems to be that stealing software is no big problem.

they will not ask you to turn on your computer. I have friends that have entered the US with "pirate" cd's containing software,movies and they never had any issues.
