    Haha, he is literally canceling people he doesn’t like, who got their social security numbers legally at the time they got them. Quite literally “unaliving” their financial identity in the US.

    If this stands, this won’t be the last group he attacks.

      You can say suicide on the fediverse unlike other platforms.

      It’s terrible what ss is doing.

      You’re right about unaliving their financial identity.

      Need an SSN to open a bank account or establish credit. It’s not supposed to have been that way, but it’s how it ended up.

      I imagine their bank accounts will end up being forefeited but they’ll still be on the hook for debts.

      And the definition of “credit” is pretty loose. Not just cards and car loans…but EPPs on cell phones, college (including parent) loans, hell even some internet plans, rental agreements, car/home/rental insurance (and car insurance being legally required to drive in most states, especially blue states…I imagine driving an uninsured vehicle will be a deportable offense, too).

      Oh and to get a job. At least one with the acceptable level of worker exploitation. They’ll still be able to get jobs with unacceptable levels of worker exploitation (under the table).

        Yes. And if he is allowed to do this to immigrants who came here legally under policies he doesn’t like, he will extend this to other people he doesn’t like, like people with too much melanin, or people who don’t agree with all his policies.

        Heck, he could extend this to people with vaginas, under the theory that they shouldnt need a financial identity separate from their husband’s.

    Non-citizens pay into social security without receiving any benefits. There is no positive to doing this.

      I think these are naturalized citizens. The federal government is attacking it’s own citizens. I’m not sure how long we collectively put up with this.

          I want to support the movement, but every time I go a protest I’m surrounded by tankies

          EDIT: Thanks for the downvote tankies, but it’s true. There’s always a ton of them wearing red shirts and Palestine pins

          EDIT 2: Obvious brigading is obvious ⬇

            I guess you missed the post where everyone was complaining the protests are only filled with centrist libs? How many actual tankies exist in the US, do you think? Maybe all of them live in your city.
