Many suspect these outdated Social Security numbers are being used by illegal aliens who were ushered into the U.S. under the Left’s open-border agenda. These numbers could be providing access to benefits, jobs, and public resources—all under false pretenses.
Fox News anchor Martha MacCallum put the spotlight on this issue during an interview with Delaware Democrat Senator Chris Coons, pressing him on DOGE’s alarming discovery.
“Were you as shocked as I was when you heard some of those numbers? Some of the information about how much fraud is happening in Social Security?” MacCallum asked.
Instead of showing concern, Coons went into full deflection mode—insisting this was much ado about nothing.
“Not only do I not believe some of what was just shared there, but the Trump administration’s acting administrator of Social Security has said that less than one-tenth of 1% of the payments put out by the Social Security administration are fraudulent or in error,” Coons said. “Let’s be clear about some of the things that were just played. There are people whose names are on the rolls as having been born 150 or 200 years ago. They are not receiving Social Security payments.”
Rather than confront the fraud head-on, Coons did what Democrats do best—pivot, distract, and smear. He launched into a tirade of buzzwords, accusing Musk of being the problem for simply uncovering the truth.
“[Elon Musk and DOGE] are getting into the systems, and they are getting access to the individual information of millions of Americans. Elon Musk has made it clear he thinks Social Security is a Ponzi scheme. A Ponzi scheme is itself fraudulent, fake, criminal or illegal. I don’t think Social Security is a Ponzi scheme. I think 70 million Americans depend on it for their principal source of income,” Coons ranted.

But MacCallum wasn’t letting him off the hook. She pointed out a brutal truth that Democrats would rather bury—Social Security is barreling toward insolvency by 2034. If nothing is done, every recipient will face an automatic 25% benefit cut.
“You say all those millions of people [who depend on Social Security]. You don’t care about the ones that are going to never get it because it’s going to be insolvent in 10 years,” she said. “What have Democrats done? What did Joe Biden’s administration do to find the waste, fraud and abuse in Social Security to try to shore up this important agency?”
Coons doubled down, continuing to deny the seriousness of DOGE’s findings while ironically admitting that government reports acknowledge waste—but, somehow, still claiming there’s no real issue.
“I will believe what the GAO says or the inspector general or the administrator of Social Security. Because I’ve had senior folks from DOGE lie to my face about other federal agencies where they claim they have found widespread waste, fraud and abuse where previous audits did not find that waste, fraud and abuse,” he said.
The American people aren’t stupid. They know a cover-up when they see one. While Democrats dismiss the findings, millions of taxpayer dollars could be vanishing into a black hole of bureaucratic fraud, with illegal aliens possibly at the center of the scheme.
And the fact that the Biden administration and its allies in Congress appear more concerned about defending broken systems than fixing them speaks volumes.
Elon Musk and DOGE may have just kicked a hornet’s nest—and the Left’s response is telling. The question now is: will Republicans do something about it?
