The Center for Immigration Studies estimates that 2.65 million illegal immigrants have Social Security numbers that allow them to get checks. This crowd of illegal immigrants can be defined as “aliens temporarily present without status,” according to Steven Camarota, director of research for the Center for Immigration Studies.
“These individuals are in the country illegally and could be required to leave. Yet, under the current system, they are still given work authorization and Social Security numbers,” he said.

They include Deferred Action for Childhood Arrivals and Temporary Protected Status recipients. Also, U.S. Citizenship and Immigration Services issued 882,000 work permissions and Social Security numbers to other illegal aliens in the fiscal year 2020, the analysis states. These include asylum petitioners, as well as those asking for a change of status and suspension of deportation, among other petitions.

Not covered in the numbers are the 1.8 million illegal immigrants that the Social Security Administration has estimated use Social Security numbers that don’t match their names, according to Camarota. Another 600,000 have Social Security numbers from when they were legally in the country but overstayed their visa.

This is a clear indication that America is simply not serious about enforcing its immigration laws.”

Aliens seeking asylum are regularly given work permission while they wait for their case to be heard—despite the merit of the application. While almost 90 percent of those who claim probable fear when presenting themselves at the border pass the primary screening, less than 20 percent are eventually granted asylum relief by an immigration judge. For Central Americans, that number is less than 10 percent.

During the last border surge in 2019, the southern border became so surprised that most illegal aliens didn’t even claim credible fear, knowing they’d still be delivered expeditiously into the United States—particularly if they came with a child. Only about 25 percent of illegal border crossers were alleging credible fear, according to Kevin McAleenan, acting secretary of the Department of Homeland Security, on July 12, 2019.
