According to a report released by the news agency Associated Press, the Trump administration has declared over 6, 000 of its life immigrants dying, canceled their Social Security numbers, and prohibited them from receiving benefits.
Donald Trump has worked to eliminate the temporary legitimate standing from hundreds of thousands of refugees who entered the country while Joe Biden was president.
The damaged immigrants will have fewer opportunities to get banking services that require Social Security numbers. It is a part of President Trump’s wider plan to restrict the entry of refugees who were temporarily permitted into the region by the Biden administration’s policies.
According to The Washington Post, “putting these refugees on the “death file” is intended to put pressure on the illegal immigrants to leave the country.”
Federal officials are putting the names and Social Security numbers of the newcomers in a database used to record the deaths of their loved ones.
According to officials, removing Social Security numbers may prevent people from getting into financial service and” self-deport” and go back to their home countries.
Social Security numbers are used in various ways, including to record earnings, apply for welfare gains, and for other functions in the United States.
Social Security numbers are still present in a large number of nationals without lawful standing. During Biden’s president, a sizable number of people were allowed to enter briefly in an effort to minimize illegal border crossings.
A White House official, whose information was obtained by The Washington Post, claimed that the majority of companies, landlords, institutions, and governmental agencies will block people who have been declared dead in the Social Security system. They wouldn’t be able to make a living in the United States as a result.
According to reports in the media, Elon Musk’s department of government performance, or DOGE, made the decision to use the “death report.”
According to The New York Times, the second group of 6, 300 individuals includes” convicted criminals and’suspended terrorists’,” citing government records.
But, according to both the Washington Post and the New York Times, the scheme may soon have an impact on an even greater number of illegal immigrants.
This use of the Social Security system comes after the administration made another move to allow immigration authorities to access taxpayer information from the Internal Revenue Service ( IRS ), which was made known on Tuesday.
Millions of illegal immigrants have been filing taxes for decades, hoping to raise money for their immigration cases and aid in the funding of significant national applications like Social Security.
