Doge reveals how Biden operates the immigration asylum system

Elon Musk, Antonio Gracias and the Doge team have recently revealed how immigration fraud and government corruption have turned out under the Biden administration. Specifically, an alien “getting” asylum shows how “getting” a job approval, along with an automatic Social Security number.

This sounds already surprising. But the truth is even worse.

Under current US regulations, asylum seekers can apply for work approval documents to the Department of Homeland Security (DHS) five months after the asylum application is filed (rather than five months after it is granted). There is no application fee for asylum applications. This means that there is literally no cost to apply.

Ice says they deported 174 criminal immigrants from Texas, including men with 39 illegal entries.

This creates a great incentive for unacceptable aliens to submit fraudulent asylum applications and get us approved of the job.

Also, awarding an asylum application can take place for the DHS or the Department of Justice to complete, but DHS prioritizes granting employment permit applications and on average takes only a few months to complete such applications.

In other words, an individual can fraudulently file for asylum and receive job approval immediately afterwards. It is safe in the knowledge that asylum applications may not be determined for years.

Asylum was created to protect those who were persecuted. However, this system means that it tends to be exploited by unacceptable aliens as a way to obtain work permits, social security numbers, driver's licenses and other government benefits.

As a result, the system is flooded. Under the Biden administration, many employment documents have been issued to immigrant parolees (without Congressional approval), asylum seekers, and other temporary aliens.

To “solve” the issue, Biden's DHS completed the rules in December 2024, permanently increasing the automatic extension period for job approvals to expire from six to 18 months.

That is, DHS chose to automatically extend work approvals without considering whether aliens should continue to have.

According to one chart (shown by Doge's Gracias at Wisconsin Town Hall), 270,000 new aliens were issued Social Security numbers in 2021. The number increased to 590,000 in 2022, 964,000 in 2003, and to approximately 2.1 million in 2024.

According to Gracias, the Social Security Administration will automatically mail the alien Social Security number. Gracias states, “The defaults for the system from Social Security to all benefits programs are set to maximum inclusion, payments for these people, and minimum collection.”

During the investigation, Doge found 1.3 million aliens who were already undergoing Medicaid. They also found a subset that was registered to vote, and a subset that actually voted for.

This is all the result of the widespread control of foreign work permits. Congress must end by regaining its own constitutional authority and returning to its intended role to protect exile (the second most important immigration benefit in our country after US citizenship) from persecution.

Specifically, Congress should legislate the principle that applicants for immigration benefits (including asylum) may not only be submitted, but may not receive a work permit until the underlying benefits (asylum) are granted. While waiting for the application to be awarded, applicants must fund their stay in the US via sponsors responsible for financial well-being.

Congress should also enact anti-burning asylum measures that will significantly reduce the number of fraudulent asylum applications. Additionally, it reduces the long-standing wait for DHS and DOJ to adjudicate legitimate asylum applications.

Doge can also intervene and investigate with the Immigration Benefits Application at DHS and DOJ to identify fraudulent applications and remove them from the backlog of 9.4 million people and their respective agents. This reduces the processing time for remaining active applications and restores the integrity of the legal immigration process.

Finally, DOGE must set up automatic notifications throughout the lifecycle of benefits so that if a non-citizen is denied an immigration benefit, the downstream system and the parties are notified to terminate their respective benefits.

Under this system, if an alien's asylum or employment approval application is denied or terminated, the alien employer, ICE, SSA, Internal Revenue Service, and the alien's country of residence will be notified to ensure that the alien is no longer receiving benefits or votes.

Acting now allows Doge and Congress to reduce the population of foreign nationals abroad, ensure that US taxpayer benefits go to Americans first, and encourage better compliance with generous immigration laws.
