President Donald Trump has announced that his administration has removed nearly 300,000 illegal aliens from the Social Security rolls, with an additional 100,000 or more migrants stripped from Medicare eligibility, and the number is climbing.
Trump announced the win for taxpayers during a speech to thousands of retirees at The Villages in Florida on Friday, where Trump tied the purge directly to his promises of “No Tax on Social Security” and safeguarding the program from rampant fraud.
“Together with the Republicans in Congress, we’ve removed nearly 300,000 illegal aliens from the Social Security roll,” Trump said. “And, we’ve removed more than 100,000 migrants from Medicare eligibility, 100,000, and the number is going up.”
Trump continued, “The Democrats didn’t care, they couldn’t care less.”
“All they care about is Trump, Trump Derangement Syndrome. They are sick. They are lunatics. We’re dealing with lunatics,” the president added.

In August, Trump revealed that 275,000 illegal aliens had already been removed.
The administration has systematically canceled thousands of Social Security numbers improperly issued to illegal migrants under prior policies.
This effort stems directly from a presidential memorandum titled “Preventing Illegal Aliens from Obtaining Social Security Act Benefits,” which directed the Social Security Administration (SSA) to update records and block ineligible non-citizens.
Social Security Commissioner Frank Bisignano and the SSA have backed the moves, confirming updates to records of individuals “no longer holding legal status.”
Every dollar stolen by illegal aliens from Social Security and Medicare is a dollar taken from American seniors who paid into the system their entire lives. Thankfully, the Trump administration is putting a stop to it.
