Millions of non-citizens got Social Security numbers illegally

Elon Musk, serving as the White House adviser and Department of Government Efficiency (DOGE) head, recently disclosed that approximately 2.1 million individuals without citizenship obtained social security numbers during 2024.

During a conference presentation alongside Antonio Gracias, who leads Valor Equity Partners as CEO, Musk outlined findings from DOGE’s investigation into social security matters this year.

“We started at the top of the system. Mapping the whole system of social security to understand where all the fraud was. There’s a lot of great people there that showed us a lot of waste, so that came with a big list of stuff. But this is what jumped out at us,” Gracias said as he pointed to the chart. “In 2021, you see 270,000 people; goes all the way to 2.1 million non-citizens that are getting social security numbers in 2024.”

The Biden administration was giving millions of Social Security Numbers to illegal aliens.

During his presentation, Gracias emphasized his unbiased stance on the matter, mentioning his Spanish-born family members and expressing support for legal immigration pathways. He also acknowledged the bravery of social security administration employees who assisted in revealing these alleged practices.

Gracias explained that the previous administration’s policies enabled migrants to enter the country and subsequently register for social security numbers.

“When you come in the country, if you’re illegal, there’s a couple of ways to come in. You can come in through a port of entry and you can tell them you’re afraid and they’ll give you an asylum case, you’ll get an interview, then you get in. That’s one way to do it. Another way to do it is to just go to the border … walk up to a border patrol officer and you tell them you want to come in,” said Gracias.

“They have a couple of choices. They can charge you with a misdemeanor or a felony under 1325. Or they can make it an administrative offense. Like a parking ticket basically. They were told to do that. Make it an administrative offense under the last administration. You could walk across the border, they could release you on your own recognizance, and they give you a notice to appear at a judge. The wait time on judges are averaged six years … There’s only 700 [judges] and this is 5.5 million people,” he continued.

“Once you’re in the country and you got an asylum through one of these pathways, you can apply for a work document. You file a 765, you get this form called a 766, and then the social security administration automatically sends you in the mail a social security number. No interview. No ID,” he concluded.
