Illegal Immigrants to Receive $4.38 Billion in Stimulus Checks

The Center for Immigration Studies estimates that 2.65 million illegal immigrants have Social Security numbers that allow them to receive stimulus checks.

This group of illegal immigrants can be described as "Aliens temporarily present without status," according to Steven Camarota, director of research for the Center for Immigration Studies.

U.S. Citizenship and Immigration Services issued 882,000 work authorizations and Social Security numbers to other illegal immigrants in fiscal year 2020, the analysis states.

Not included in the numbers are the 1.8 million illegal immigrants that the Social Security Administration has estimated use Social Security numbers that don't match their names, according to Camarota.

"There is simply no question that millions of illegal immigrants will receive billions of dollars in COVID relief checks," Camarota said.

"This highlights an even more disturbing fact-illegal immigrants are being issued Social Security numbers in large numbers. This is a clear indication that America is simply not serious about enforcing its immigration laws."

Only about 25 percent of illegal border crossers were claiming credible fear, according to Kevin McAleenan, acting secretary of the Department of Homeland Security, on July 12, 2019.
