“The Social Security Administration this week began to classify thousands of immigrants with temporary legal status and Social Security numbers as dead,“ CBS News reports.

“The move essentially cancels an immigrant’s Social Security number and is equivalent to a financial death, as financial institutions rely on updated Social Security data to verify identities and deaths and may cut off access for these individuals.”

1. How the hell can they pay taxes then

That's why they have these, so they can pay into the system.

2. No chance they'll screw up and accidentally "kill" some other bystanders

…right?

3. These people are legally in the country. It is cray cray

to shut them out of getting paid.

6. Agree with that

I’m also concerned that other people, who were not intended to be cut, will find themselves in trouble.

The DOGE squad has access to everything, with no oversight, and we know they are sloppy.

4. Without numbers they can't possibly follow them with any kind of paperwork, either helpful or hurtful

There are so many common latino names, how will anything get captured in any database?

Even if you accept his horrific treatment of immigrants, this makes no sense at all.

Let's demand to eliminate melania's ss number....

5. they will be arrested for not paying taxes....

After they are fired from their jobs for not having valid ss numbers.

7. Are Social Security numbers and Tax ID numbers considered to be the same?
