does the “nearly all” mean “almost mostly illegal immigrant” Americans ?

No, adult illegals are very definitely screened out. I'm not sure what happens with kids.

I just dealt with an applicant (born right here in Washington State 60 years ago), who had a heck of a time getting the Healthcare Authority to accept her Social Security number. It was fine but their verification database had a bug in it for a certain range of numbers.
