1.3 million non-citizens on Medicaid – many registered to vote

During an episode of the All In podcast, DOGE’s Antonio Gracias claimed large numbers of immigrants are receiving taxpayer benefits.

In what seems to be a confirmation of something the right has long suspected, Gracias described over a million migrants who had been given Social Security numbers and were accessing public benefits, and it’s “just starting.” But the frightening look into the inner workings of America’s social safety nets didn’t end there.

DOGE’s Antonio Gracias Says Massive Numbers of Illegal Migrants Who Received SSN’s Are on Taxpayer Funded Benefits

“Every benefit program we looked at was being accessed by these people. 1.3 million of them are on Medicaid right now, today. And by the way, it’s just ramping. It’s just starting, just to give you a point,” he said. “And then out of curiosity, I woke up one night at like two in the morning because I couldn’t sleep, I said ‘Hey guys let’s look at the public voter rolls, see who we can find, in some friendly states. And we looked at voter rolls and we found that thousands of them are registered to vote in a handful of states. And then we went further with those friendly states and found that many of them had actually voted.”

“It was shocking to us, if I hadn’t seen it with my own eyes, I wouldn’t have believed it,” Gracias added. “And so now the question we’re asking ourselves is ‘What do we do?’ We referred some to prosecution, that’s ongoing right now. We’re thinking through how to do it.”

“It’s more than a thousand in just a couple of states,” he explained to one of the co-hosts. “It is shockingly bad, and this is the tip of the iceberg, guys. It doesn’t include the 7.8 million people that ICE has that have come in illegally that we know are here, and all the people who have come in illegally that we don’t know are here. This is not a political issue, I want to be very clear about this.”

“In every benefit program we looked at, and this is just a handful of states, we found people on all the benefit programs. We found them on unemployment, we found them on Medicaid, so people on Medicaid and unemployment, they’re not contributing. They are taking out, they are mooching,” he pointed out after one of the podcast’s co-hosts suggested some of the people receiving benefits could also be paying into the system that they are using.

“They found hard hits in the targeting center of very bad people, criminals, and people on terrorist watch lists, that are in this group,” Gracias added.

X users had a lot to say about the startling revelation:

Let’s do some Math ~
1,300,000. x 1,500 x 12 = 23,400,000,000
1.3 Million times S.S. & Medicare Costs per Month per Person, times 12 months = 23.4 BILLION Dollars Per Year!
Granted, the Amount per Month is a Guesstimate but I think it’s probably a Good Average.

Recoup all stolen funds that can be tracked.
Deport all illegals who have been a public charge.
And prosecute the crooks who enabled this massive theft.

If and when DOGE exposes all those who are illegally on SS, medicare and medicaid and they are removed, these programs will once again be solvent for the American people who deserve and need them.
DOGE is the best thing to happen to this Country next to Trump being elected.
