When Elon Musk and his DOGE colleague Antonio Gracias showed a Wisconsin audience how non-citizens get Social Security Numbers (SSNs), their presentation painted the clearest picture yet of the long-term damage former President Joe Biden’s open border policy will have on the United States.

Standing in front of a huge chart, they showed how the number of SSNs issued to new non-citizens spiked in 2024.

The total SSNs issued in 2021 was roughly 270,000; in 2022 it climbed to 590,000, and in 2023, there were 964,000 SSNs issued to new non-citizens. But in 2024 it more than doubled to over 2 million. This counts only non-citizens who got their SSNs through the Enumeration Beyond Entry program, a system where the Social Security Administration automatically issues SSNs and cards to certain foreign nationals in the U.S., as part of an agreement with U.S. Citizenship and Immigration Services.

Your data is apples to oranges. The data you show for the 2016 to 2020 period is enumeration for all immigrants in ALL forms.  The data we showed in our slide last night in Wisconsin was just Enumeration Beyond Entry (“EBE”) immigrants.

U.S. District Judge for the Northern District of Georgia Amy Totenberg admitted in a late Monday ruling that there are “substantial concerns” about Georgia’s voting system but refused to address them, instead dismissing a years-long case that sought to move the state to hand-marked paper ballots for alleged lack of standing.

The case, Curling v. Raffensperger, was brought back in 2017 and has since evolved. Plaintiffs, which include the Coalition for Good Governance and several Georgia voters, asked the court — according to Totenberg’s ruling — “to stop Georgia’s use of its electronic in-person voting system so that it can be replaced with a hand-marked paper ballot system.”

Plaintiffs argued, in part, that the current voting system “makes it impossible for these voters to verify that the QR codes on their printed ballots, which are used to tabulate their votes, accurately reflect the ballot selections they made on the voting machines,” according to the ruling.

Totenberg ruled that “Plaintiffs lack standing to pursue their claims because neither of these asserted injuries constitute an invasion of a legally protected interest under governing precedent.” But Totenberg also ruled that plaintiffs “identified substantial concerns about the administration, maintenance, and security of Georgia’s electronic in-person voting system …”

Wisconsin voters decisively approved a measure to enshrine voter identification requirements in the state constitution on Tuesday.

Wisconsin Question 1 asked voters whether a new section should be added to the state constitution “to require that voters present valid photographic identification verifying their identity in order to vote in any election,” according to text of the amendment from Ballotpedia.

As of Wednesday morning, roughly 62.7 percent of voters cast their ballots in the affirmative, while 37.3 percent voted against the measure, according to vote tallies from The New York Times.

Wisconsin already requires voter ID, but the constitutional amendment prevents the law from being overturned.
