Today's offerings constitute a rare, double-Pants on Fire! day here at PolitiFact.com.

Readers asked us to check a claim that the Senate passed a bill giving Social Security benefits to illegal immigrants. Guess what? It's wrong!

Don't forget, our site is highly sortable, so you can view our complete file of Pants on Fire! ratings here .
