WATCH: DOGE Volunteer Exposes How Millions of Illegal Aliens with Social Security Numbers Were On Welfare Programs, Many Thousands Had Votes
In another absolute jaw-dropper of an interview, Department of Government Efficiency (DOGE) volunteer Antonio Gracias exposed how DOGE discovered, when looking into fraud and waste surrounding Social Security, that millions of illegal aliens had been caught using Social Security numbers to sign up for welfare programs and voting.
Such is what Gracias revealed in an interview that occurred back in April but went viral again on X in early October, when it resurfaced. In the interview, Gracias spoke to “Fox and Friends” about how DOGE was trying to dig into fraud surrounding Social Security, and ended up figuring out a major welfare and voting scheme.
Speaking about what DOGE found, Gracias explained that DOGE had dug into the data the federal government has regarding who is in America as it attempted to deal with fraud. He said, “Well, it’s it made my jaw drop too, and I saw it. You know, we were in Social Security, looking for fraud, waste and abuse. And to do that, we actually looked at the enumeration system, the system by which people get numbers in America.”
Continuing, Gracias noted that of the millions upon millions of illegal aliens who entered America, about five million got Social Security numbers, with when they got onto American benefit programs, saying, “And we found that there were just about five plus million of them that came to the country as illegals were giving various forms of parole or allowed in the country, and they got, through an automatic system, Social Security numbers to get into our benefit systems.”
Emphasizing that, Gracias noted that, as DOGE dug further into what was going on, it found out that not only were the illegal aliens associated with the benefit systems because of the numbers they were given, but they were actively on the welfare programs. He said, “And we tracked that through and found that they were on the benefit programs.”
Further, he noted that many thousands of them also got onto the voter rolls and voted, saying, “And just because we were curious, we then looked to see if they were on the voter rolls. And we found in a handful of cooperative states that there were 1000s on the voter rolls and that many of them had voted.”
And, when asked about how much DOGE has saved by digging into Social Security fraud and wasted, Gracias explained, “It’s in the billions. You saw the fraud on the phone lines itself. That was about $1.5 billion, and I would guess with Social Security already, we’re north of $10 billion.”
