1996: Schumer explains illegals come to the US is so they can defraud programs like Social Security

1996: Chuck Schumer explains “the number one reason" illegals come to the US is so they can defraud programs like Social Security — and wants to stop it.

Chuck sounding very DOGE!

“This is an anti-fraud amendment. All over where we go, people say, why can't you stop illegal immigrants or others from coming here?"

"And the number one answer we give our constituents is when they come here, they can get jobs, get benefits against the law because of fraud."

"If you believe you want to stop fraud in immigration, you have no choice but to support this amendment."

The amendment Schumer so passionately supports here would add additional security features to the Social Security card.
