An official from the Department of Government Efficiency (DOGE) asserted that millions of migrants are currently benefiting from taxpayer-funded Medicaid, while thousands are registered to vote nationwide and are participating in American elections illegally. DOGE official and equity firm CEO Antonio Gracias noted that migrants have been able to obtain Social Security cards after being released into the interior of the country with only a notice to appear in immigration court—where average court dates are set about six years after their release.
“So now you’re in the country with some quasi-legal status, you’re waiting for your court date … you can fill out an asylum application,” Gracias explained during a recent appearance on the “All In” podcast, which featured Daily Wire host Ben Shapiro. “Once that application is in, you can file another form, a 765 to get work authorization, once you get that, you get a 766, which is the authorization and we automatically send you a Social Security card in the mail.”
With access to Social Security cards, Gracias says, over a million migrants have been able to receive Medicaid benefits. “We mapped this through the benefit programs, we found every benefits program that is being accessed by these people, 1.3 million are on Medicaid right now, today,” he noted. He went on to explain that thousands of migrants have also been discovered on voter rolls, and he asserted that the Democratic Party deliberately opened the border to import new voters.
“We looked at voter rolls and we found that thousands are registered to vote in friendly states. And we looked even further in those friendly states and found that many of those people had actually voted. It was shocking to us,” Gracias explained. “I think this was a move to import voters. This doesn’t include the 7.8 million that ICE has that have come in illegally that we know are here and all the people who are here illegally who we don’t know are here,” he added.
The DOGE official cited California as a case in point—once known for frequently backing Republican gubernatorial and presidential candidates, the state shifted into a reliably Democratic stronghold following former President Ronald Reagan’s amnesty for illegal aliens. “Go look at California. Richard Nixon, Ronald Reagan came from California. Ronald Reagan signed amnesty and some 40 years later, it is now a solidly blue state,” Gracias pointed out. “I don’t know what the unintended consequences will be long-term, but I can tell you, it’s already happened in America where an amnesty program actually turned a very large state from one party to another.”
