Conservative commentator Steve Deace pointed to a Fox News graphic to highlight what he described as a dramatic rise in the number of Social Security numbers issued to non-citizens during the Biden-Harris administration, raising concerns about the scale of the increase and its broader implications.
Deace said Fox News aired a graph showing year-by-year growth in non-citizen Social Security numbers issued since former President Joe Biden took office.
“Fox News ran this graph yesterday, non-citizen social security numbers issued during the Biden administration, 270,021, over 590,022, over 960,023, over 2.1 million in 24,” Deace said.
He focused particularly on the sharp jump in the most recent year shown on the graph.
“Gee, I wonder why that escalated so much in 24,” Deace said, before pointing to what he suggested could be incentives tied to having a Social Security number.
“Because what are you probably more likely to legitimately be able to claim if you’ve got a social security card? Citizenship, voting, citizenship voting, by the way,” he said.
Deace emphasized the scale of the numbers by comparing them to state populations.

“That’s more people the Biden administration gave more non citizens social security cards in four years than live in our home state of Iowa,” he said.
He narrowed the focus further to the most recent year alone, saying the 2024 figure exceeded the population of multiple states.
“If we just took the amount of people they gave those to in 2024 that’s more people than live in Nebraska, Idaho, West Virginia, Hawaii, New Hampshire, Maine, Montana, Rhode Island, Delaware, South Dakota, North Dakota, Alaska, DC, Vermont and Wyoming,” Deace said.
Deace concluded by framing the number as equivalent to a mid-sized state if counted on its own.
“It would be the 39th largest state in the union, just the amount of people, non Americans, they gave social security cards to last year,” he said.
Deace’s remarks centered on the rapid increase shown in the Fox News graphic and his view that the scale of non-citizen Social Security number issuance under the Biden-Harris administration warrants closer scrutiny.
