Five Ways Non-Citizens With Social Security Numbers Can Scam America

Once non-citizens living in the United States have a SSN, opportunities to commit fraud become clear.

When Elon Musk and his DOGE colleague Antonio Gracias showed a Wisconsin audience how non-citizens get Social Security Numbers (SSNs), their presentation painted the clearest picture yet of the long-term damage former President Joe Biden’s open border policy will have on the United States.

Standing in front of a huge chart, they showed how the number of SSNs issued to new non-citizens spiked in 2024.

The total SSNs issued in 2021 was roughly 270,000; in 2022 it climbed to 590,000, and in 2023, there were 964,000 SSNs issued to new non-citizens. But in 2024 it more than doubled to over 2 million. This counts only non-citizens who got their SSNs through the Enumeration Beyond Entry program, a system where the Social Security Administration automatically issues SSNs and cards to certain foreign nationals in the U.S., as part of an agreement with U.S. Citizenship and Immigration Services.

Gracias explained the ease with which illegal aliens transformed into Social-Security-card-carrying beneficiaries of America’s generosity under Biden. One way was for aliens to enter the U.S. and tell authorities they are afraid for their safety. They are interviewed and given an asylum case.

Or they entered the U.S. and simply walked up to a border patrol officer to say they wanted to stay. The illegal alien would be charged with a minor administrative offense, like a parking ticket, then they were released with a notice to appear before a judge. The average wait to see an immigration judge was six years, Gracias said, because there are only around 700 immigration judges and around 5.5 million people waiting for a hearing.

“Once you’re in the country and you’ve got asylum through one of these pathways … you can apply for a work document. You file an I-765, it’s the work authorization form.” The I-765 asks if you have a SSN, or if you would like to be issued a SSN and a Social Security card. Mail in the I-765 and soon you receive a 766 card — also called a work authorization card — to put in your wallet.

Does simply generating a 10-digit number work?

700 immigration judges. Congress needs to act, authorize increase to 7000 judges now as it will take some time to train and get them up to speed. But it has to be done, shorten the time frame from 6 years to a month,

I don’t understand how this was done. I hope it was done in a way that it can just be undone. Otherwise this will be a mess to unravel if done using any sort of legality.

Amazes me there was no outcry from any of the many involved in the process when it was happening.

No but a nine digit number might.

Knowing human nature, does it really amaze?

Reflecting on this it is leadership that is important (with other things) Where would we be without Trumps long enduring leadership? I would have given up.

We are sheep, in need of good leadership. This is an example for a need for God’s leadership.

fun fact:

What is the most stolen Social Security number?

The most misused SSN of all time was (078-05-1120). In 1938, wallet manufacturer the E. H. Ferree company in Lockport, New York decided to promote its product by showing how a Social Security card would fit into its wallets.
