- The Trump administration has entered the names of over 6,300 mostly Latino immigrants into the Social Security Administration's "Death Master File" database, rendering them ineligible for benefits
The latest move was created to "remove the monetary incentive for illegal aliens to come and stay, we will encourage them to self-deport," Elizabeth Huston, a White House spokeswoman, saidThe Social Security Administration has entered the names of over 6,300 mostly Latino immigrants into a database that tracks people who have died, according to The New York Times, The Washington Post and CBS News.
The Trump administration is targeting immigrants who have Social Security numbers but have lost their legal status in the U.S. — including those who entered under former President Joe Biden’s temporary work programs. This prevents those impacted from being able to receive Medicaid, Medicare, unemployment insurance, federal loans or other benefits.

Little wonder the Left and the Right can't converse. I hate the media.
