Despite official action to essentially wipe migrants out of the Social Security system, a new report said one bureaucrat refused to go along.
Greg Pearre, a manager who according to The Washington Post oversaw technology experts, was refusing to put names of migrants into what’s known as the “death master file,” which is usually used for Social Security recipients who have died.
As a result, on Thursday, security guards arrived at Pearre’s office at Social Security Administration headquarters in Woodlawn, Maryland, and escorted him out.
As with all Trump administration innovations, blocking access to migrants’ Social Security numbers has its critics.
“This is an unprecedented step,” Devin O’Connor, a senior fellow at the progressive Center on Budget and Policy Priorities, said in response.
“The administration seems to basically be saying they have the right to essentially declare people equivalent to dead who have not died. That’s a hard concept to believe, but it brings enormous risks and consequences,” he said.
But White House Press Secretary Karoline Leavitt said removing illegal immigrants needs to be done.
She said putting migrants in programs that have been terminated into the death file so their Social Security numbers will be rejected shows that “the Trump Administration is protecting lawful American citizens and their hard-earned Social Security benefits, and ensuring illegal immigrants will no longer receive such economic entitlements.”
“Anyone who disagrees with the common sense policies of this Administration can find a new job,” she said.

Changing the status is probably easier than deleting and preserves any information about illegal payments
FTA——WH Press Secy Karoline Leavitt said removing illegal immigrants needs to be done.
She said putting migrants in programs that have been terminated into the death file so their Social Security numbers will be rejected shows that “the Trump Administration is protecting lawful American citizens and their hard-earned Social Security benefits, and ensuring illegal immigrants will no longer receive unearned economic entitlements.”
“Anyone disagreeing w/ common sense policies of this Administration can find a new job,” she said.
A hack, but it works.
Fk that guy. More of this needs to happen.
Greg Pearre managed 100’s of “technology experts,” refused to put migrants into the “death master file,” according to Trump’s “America First” agenda, to prevent illegals taking jobs from Americans.
.......on Thursday, guards arrived at Pearre’s Social S/S office and escorted him out.......
These people are going to learn. When the boss says you do something, you either do it or you hit the bricks. There is no debate.
Author referred to him as “a bureaucrat” in the story.
Perfect.
Yes, more of this needs to happen.
Great idea. The SSNs can’t be reused and I would imagine it’s difficult to change a “dead” status back to “alive.”
I have no problem in putting illegals’ numbers (SSNs) on the master death list that STOPS benefits. What I do want, however, it to triply assure that the numbers they use are not stolen and a number legitimately being used by a US Citizen,

You don't get to decide for the rest of America what *YOU THINK* should happen. America made the decision, and trying to stop it is putting your will over that of the American people.
They are probably worthless at any real job, and will not be able to find a new job. Certainly not one that pays them so much for doing so little.
“Despite official action to essentially wipe migrants out of the Social Security system...”
“Jose, sorry, you are now in the ‘Death File’.” No SS for you!”
Maybe they needed another file like “Kicked out of SS and shall never return” instead of mis-using the “Death File.”
These illegals were given their numbers by the Biden administration so they would be new numbers attached to adults rather than new numbers attached to newborns.
Appreciate how stupid “the resistance” is.
Fire them and prosecute them.
It’s a good move but nowhere near enough.
In order to deport 14 million illegal aliens that Biden brought in during his 4 years, we need to be deporting 10,000 a day, EVERY DAY, if we’re going to come anywhere close to getting them out while Trump is still president.
The illegal aliens have to be deprived of all federal benefits.
Elon Musk is correct when he said that’s what brought them here and that’s what’s keeping them here.
Deporting the illegals needs to be the number one political objective for the next 4 years if we’re ever going to restore America.
Democrats are determined to keep them here because they intend to use them to regain power, and when they do they will immediately return to the Obama / Biden agenda.
Without Trump to stop them they will succeed, and it will be the end of America.
