He Said So, It Must Be So!

 Government by Twitter:

DOGE staffer Antonio Gracias told "Fox & Friends" on April 2 that more than 5 million noncitizens who came to the U.S. illegally had received Social Security numbers "through an automatic system," and he then claimed they had then been added to voter rolls and cast ballots – which is already a federal crime and virtually nonexistent, reported NPR.

"Just because we were curious, we then looked to see if they were on the voter rolls. And we found in a handful of cooperative states that there were thousands of them on the voter rolls and that many of them had voted," Gracias said.

I’m old enough to remember when outrageous allegations had to be supported by evidence. Apparently I have lived too long.

“Noncitizens” includes people here legally and gainfully employed. Unless the employer is cheating the government by paying cash (and likely cheating the laborers, too), the employer is obligated to report and pay employment taxes (by which I mean SS/Medicare and income tax) for all employees.

And I can’t imagine why any state would need my SSN for voter registration. Or how this clown would gain access to state voter rolls. He certainly wouldn’t understand what he was looking at. 

I’ve known people this dumb and ignorant. I just never knew them to be rogue government employees.

As I say, the GOP Congress thinks this is just fine. Congress has the whip hand in this situation. They just won’t do anything with it.
