Any immigrant legally allowed to work receives a social security number. That includes all non-citizens here on work or study visas and yes, asylum applicants if they applied and received permission to work while their claim is adjudicated.
Note the chart they're showing in that video simply shows "non-citizens" receiving SS numbers. But the post from MAGA activist Scott Presler calls them "illegal aliens" instead. Those are not the same thing.Last edited by Dr. Strangelove; March 31, 2025, 03:29 PM.

‘I don’t know anyone that isn’t pissed off at him’: Trump world turns on Lutnick - POLITICO
Inside the White House, Commerce Secretary Howard Lutnick has been perhaps the biggest proponent of ”Liberation Day,” President Donald Trump’s promised unveiling of sweeping new tariffs on Wednesday. But as the day nears, the potential fallout from those tariffs may well liberate Lutnick from his role in the administration, according to half dozen people close to the White House.
While Americans and much of the world brace for a possible season of pain following the imposition of the new tranche of tariffs, Trump’s orbit is ready to play the blame game should things go poorly for the White House. And all the fingers will be pointing at Lutnick, two people close to the administration, granted anonymity to discuss the private dynamics, told POLITICO.
“I think people would take special pleasure in blaming him,” said one.
Lutnick spends substantial time in the Oval Office, hyping the president on his tariff strategy and “giving him bad advice — pushing more aggressive tariffs,” the person said.
Treasury Secretary Scott Bessent remains the “measured voice” advocating targeted tariffs. Trade adviser Peter Navarro has never been shy about his affection for tariffs, but he’s a known quantity and isn’t seen as shaking anything up. By contrast, Lutnick is “a new voice at the table pushing crazy shit,” in the words of the person familiar with the situation. “I don’t know anyone that isn’t pissed off at him.”

Has there been one democratic in congress that has spoken out against the violent fires and vandalism of Tesla vehicles. Meanwhile,
lets not give the tarrifs ANY time to see how it works. Oh, as if the previous administration had any fiiscal plan other than write endless checks for every federal program to spike inflation and let millions of illigals over the boarder for our cheap labor.

Putin calls up 160,000 Russian men from age 18 - 30. The draft is characterized to Russians as a normal process that takes place in April each year. Notices were sent starting today and will continue through May. The announcement also specified new recruits will not be sent to Ukraine to fight. Right.
The estimate of Russians killed in Ukraine is 100,000. Most analysts think it is double that, maybe more. I feel pretty sure his generals are calling for more soldiers but those calls won't be made public.
Mission to CFB's National Championship accomplished. But the shine on the NC Trophy is embarrassingly wearing off. It's M B-Ball ..... or hockey or volley ball or name your college sport favorite time ...... until next year.
