"To protect our benefits, we've already kicked nearly 275,000 illegal aliens off of the Social Security system."
During a press conference at the White House, Trump said, "I signed one big, beautiful bill and allowed no tax on Social Security for our great seniors. Okay, so how's that? Not bad, right? No tax on Social Security for our seniors and to protect our benefits, we've already kicked nearly 275,000 illegal aliens off of the Social Security system. These are people, many of them have already left the country, and yet we were sending them checks all the time."
"And what that's doing is making the system strong. It's making it strong. Biden never kicked anybody off. Everybody joined, and we're carrying out historic deportations to remove many more illegals committing Social Security fraud. It's a Social Security fraud that was taking place at levels that nobody's ever seen," Trump continued.
The president added that his administration has also cleared 12.4 million names off of the Social Security database that were over 120 years of age.
"There were nearly 135,000 people listed who are over 160 years old, and in some cases, getting payments. So somebody's getting those payments, and we're after that," he added.
In April, Trump signed an executive order which was "aimed at stopping illegal aliens and other ineligible people from obtaining Social Security Act benefits" and "directs the administration to ensure ineligible aliens are not receiving funds from Social Security Act programs."
During the press conference, the president also spoke about his steps in Washington, DC to tamp down crime by federalizing the police force and deploying the National Guard to the nation's capital. As that has been carried out, some additional illegal immigrants in DC have been arrested in the over 100 suspects taken into custody this week.
