From the Daily Mail: Illegal immigrants are claiming billions of dollars worth of Medicaid and other US benefits, according to data uncovered by the head of DOGE’s border team.
Antonio Gracias said around 1.3 million non-citizens are currently claiming Medicaid, at an estimated cost of around $6.5 billion.
The stark revelation came after Gracias and his team began probing the huge uptick in non-citizens who were assigned Social Security numbers last year.
The figure leapt from 400,000 in 2021, to more than two million in 2024. Among those are people who have entered the US legally on visas and green cards and who pay into the US tax system.
But a large proportion are undocumented migrants who are benefitting from ‘maximum pay’ and ‘minimum collection,’ Gracias said.
During his appearance on the All-In Podcast, Gracias explained, “The defaults in the system, from Social Security to all benefit programs, have been set to maximum inclusion, maximum pay for these people, and minimum collection. Already, we found 1.3 million of them on Medicaid as an example. And we found people in this population registered to vote.”
Gracias pointed to the Biden administration’s open border policies and multiple asylum programs that allowed vast numbers of illegal aliens to stream across the border, who were then released with Notices to Appear (NTAs) for court dates up to six years out.
He said Social Security numbers were assigned to asylees without adequate vetting. Many didn’t even show ID, and records for a whopping 23 percent did not even include fingerprints.
Gracias told the All-In Podcast:
“We found that every benefit program we looked at was being accessed by these people.”
“1.3M of them are on Medicaid right now, today.”
“And by the way, it’s just ramping, it’s just starting.”
“And we looked at voter rolls and we found that thousands of them were registered to vote in a handful of states.”
“And then we went even further with those friendly states and found that many of those people had actually voted.”
“It was shocking to us. And if I hadn’t seen it with my own eyes, I wouldn’t believe it.”
“And this is the tip of the iceberg.”
