Is Chuck Schumer the ‘real father’ of DOGE? Roll tape!
April 4, 2025 | Tom Tillison
In an astonishing breakthrough, Sen. Chuck Schumer has gotten on board with DOGE, declaring that “the number one reason” illegal immigrants come to the United States is so they can defraud programs like Social Security and insisting it must end.
Well, not exactly.
Schumer did say as much, but that was in 1996 — long before the more militant progressive wing began shaping the Democratic Party. Unfortunately for the Senate Minority Leader, footage of his remarks has surfaced and prompted DOGE captain Elon Musk to reply, “This is pure gold. The 1996 model Schumer is right!”
“This is an anti-fraud amendment,” Schumer said in the clip, speaking from the floor of the Senate about adding additional security features to the Social Security card.
