A Social Security problem
...
During the rally, Musk spoke about the millions of dead people who were found to be listed as alive in the Social Security database. But then he had another riveting moment where he asked Antonio Gracias to explain some of the things he'd discovered during his DOGE examination of Social Security. Gracias is the Founder and Managing Partner of Valor Equity Partners, and he is a close associate of Musk. Gracias said they had already found a lot of waste. But then he found something more that raised a lot of questions.
Gracias pointed out how the number of non-citizens getting Social Security numbers jumped from 270,000 in 2021 to 2.1 million in 2024. That's over the time of Joe Biden's presidency.
Gracias said he wanted to thank the people in the system who "pointed us in this direction" who "took risks to show us these numbers and tell us what's going on." "I want to honor those people," he said. "Very good people."
He said that basically, under Biden, you could walk across the border, claim asylum [most of whom would not really qualify (my note)], and then you'd get released with a court date that was averaging at six years later. Then you can subsequently apply for a work document; then you can get a Social Security number, "no ID" required, he said.
According to FactCheck, after an "asylum seeker's" application has been pending for six months, they can get a number. That's pretty stunning. You can also get a number if you are a non-citizen if you enter legally on a visa of some sort. So I'm not sure if that category of people is included in the number he was talking about, but he appeared to be talking about those who didn't really enter legally.
Musk went on to say that this was about importing as many illegal aliens as possible to change the voting map of the United States "and disenfranchise the American people and making it a deep blue one-party state from which there would be no escape."
Gracias explained they found people from this group of people he was referring to getting benefits. More than that, he found people who were registered to vote and did vote. He said they had referred the people's names to the Department of Homeland Security for investigation.

Trump is clearly more interested in stopping vote fraud and illegal immigration than Biden and the Democrats were. In fact, that is one of the reasons for the decline in support of the Democrats, who are now getting polling support from less than 30 percent of the US voters. The Democrats' plan to import voters has backfired spectacularly on them.
There should be a massive effort to clean up the Social Security roles. It could save the treasury billions of dollars and insure benefits to those who are deserving.
