Amidst growing concerns over the status of many immigrants in the United States, there are indications that the administration of Mr. Donald Trump is concluding plans to force illegal immigrants out of the country by adding them to the database of dead people.
Reuters reports Friday morning that the move is to accelerate efforts at making illegal immigrants to deport themselves without waiting for the force of the US laws.
Reuters cited hint by a Trump government official that the social security numbers of such immigrants are to be rendered inoperable making it impossible for them to access government’s benefits.
The social security numbers are the tax identification numbers which grants access to a number of other live services such as health, banking services and others.
If rendered redundant, holders of such numbers become unrecognized by the government and the public system making life difficult for them.
“Immigrants who were legally admitted to the U.S. under the Biden administration but have since had their temporary status revoked would be added to the Social Security Administration’s “death master list,” which is normally used to identify dead people who should no longer receive Social Security benefits, said the source, who requested anonymity to discuss the plans,” Reuters reported
Reuters also said that the New York Times has reported that the aim of the Trump administration is to encourage immigrants to remove themselves from America saying “The goal is to pressure migrants to self-deport by effectively canceling their Social Security numbers and cutting them off from financial services.”
The report went further to state that already over 6,000 convicts have lost their security benefits.
“President Trump promised mass deportations and by removing the monetary incentive for illegal aliens to come and stay, we will encourage them to self-deport,” Assistant Press Secretary Liz Huston said in a statement, without directly addressing the plan.”
