    Your poor comprehension of population is absolutely insane

    The us has about 330 million people (yes its an estimate, but it does usually include illegal aliens in its margins as best they can)
    China has about 1 billion.

    You think somehow that what? For every hispanic person (assuming 20%, and census #s are all citizens) in america that theres 25 more hiding in every single one's closet? So for every family of 4, theres 104 people living in the same place?

    IF that were true, then instead of being 20 % of the total population, they would be 87.5 % of the population.

    There arent even that many hispanic people in the WORLD (sum is nearer 664 million total), much less in the usa

    In a related note, I just received a notice from something that looked official, MY data was breached WAY BACK IN APRIL! Again, blaming hospital records. While my internet is slow sometimes, I haven't noticed anything unusual in my banking or credit card statements, so the notice hit the circular file. Like I said, with a paltry $3grand limit, crooks have bigger fish to fry.

    That's a bad assumption because one of Biden's first acts as POTUS was overturning Trump's policy of not counting illegal aliens in the census.

    https://www.npr.org/sections/inaugu...nsuring-all-persons-living-in-u-s-are-counted

    Not all illegal aliens are Hispanic. In fact, the number of non-Hispanic illegal entrants/visa overstayers has increased in recent years. According to Pew:
    • From 2019 to 2022, the unauthorized immigrant population from nearly every region of the world grew. The Caribbean, South America, Asia, Europe and sub-Saharan Africa all saw increases.
    What we know about unauthorized immigrants living in the U.S.

    Hey, what do "facts" matter for anymore, when a good screaming headline or a false allegation will get you views?

    OK, so......you are saying that........since there were 2.9 BILLION SS#'s stolen, and there are, what, 350 MILLION people in the US (citizens AND legal aliens), that means......2.55 BILLION "illegal aliens" not only LIVE in the US, but also somehow got SS#'s, which is something you need to have at least a 'green card' to get? So that, in a world with only something like 4.5 billion people, 2/3 of all people are now residing in the US, 88% of whom are here illegally? So, with numbers like yours, that means only 1 out of every 10 people you see each day are actually citizens?

    Seriously, man, what are you smoking, and in what alternate universe are you living in? Were you intoxicated when you composed this post? Did you mean this post to be a 'troll post', because, man, your opinions are HILARIOUS!!!!

    Why does NOBODY read the story or read the couple of replies explaining it's not 2.1 billion SSNs. It was up to that number of ID numbers, one type of which are SSNs? Talk about responding to flaming headline but not letting other info interfere with a response.
    Media reports almost always contain errors. Journalists have zero experience doing anything but writing and dealing with media employees. If 2 sources told a reporter that elephants were coming out of most kitchen faucets he has nothing by which to know even if that is possible. Reporters, by definition, are not wise. At most they are first, and usually they are not first. TV types steal from radio types. Radio types steal from print types and print types steal from internet or books. EVERY breaking story on TV was reported days ago by other "news" people not on TV.
