Social security numbers are issued at birth - to those born in the United States. I have yet to find a record on a non-American baby born in Kenya receiving one.

“Social security numbers are issued at birth -”

Not so. Social Security numbers today might be issued when a child is a baby, when I was growing up you didn't need one for anything until you went to work, and it was quite common to not get them until you were in high school. I was issued one in the State I resided in when I applied, not the State of birth.
Obama wasn't issued one until his college years I bet. And yes, like everything else about him, his is a fraud.

It is true that today SS numbers are issued at birth. However, when I was born in 1951, SS numbers were not issued at birth. One applied for it when seeking employment for the first time. So, 0bama’s SS number might not have been issued at his birth just like mine was not.

Nope. Didn't get mine 'til I got my first job @ age 14. I'm only a few years older than 0.

Unless there has been some change in the last few years, Social Security numbers are NOT issued at birth. You have to apply for a Social Security number. Most of us did this as teenagers when we graduated from cutting grass or babysitting into a job that required our employer to withhold Social Security.

That is not historically true. I remember getting my SSN in the 60's before getting a first teenage job. I had to apply for my kids' SSNs in the 80's. There was a change in tax law which said you couldn't claim dependents by name--they had to have a Social Security Number, so I applied for them.

"Social security numbers are issued at birth"

That is not exactly true. They are now. But I was born in 1965 and didn't have a SS# issued until 1976 or so. It is different now.
