The Social Security Administration is literally killing thousands of numbers that were assigned to illegal aliens.
With a Social Security number, illegal aliens can work in the United States and receive a wide range of taxpayer-funded benefits. The Trump administration is trying to take away the incentive for illegal aliens to stay in the United States and swiftly remove them from the system, treating them the same as it would someone who had died.
The Trump administration is putting the Social Security numbers of more than 6,000 illegal aliens into the same database that dead people’s numbers go into, a novel maneuver that effectively strips the individuals of their numbers and makes them ineligible for benefits. Of those illegal aliens entered into the database for dead people, the White House said that nearly 1,000 were receiving Medicaid benefits, while others were given student loans or collecting unemployment insurance.
“President Trump promised mass deportations and by removing the monetary incentive for illegal aliens to come and stay, we will encourage them to self deport,” said White House spokeswoman Elizabeth Huston. “He is delivering on his promise he made to the American people.”
