As TheGratefulImmigrant, I’ve walked the legal path to citizenship, grateful for America’s promise. But this “vicious injury cycle”—rigged schemes letting in low-skilled masses from third-world or hostile nations, handing them IDs, then opening doors to fraud in welfare, ACA, Social Security—is a calculated assault on the kind-hearted American people. It’s not compassion; it’s a con for power, baking in impossible audits from the start. Costs billions, erodes trust, and leads to slaughter—your resources drained, voice diluted, nation weakened. Worse, some unwittingly cry for it under “humanity” banners. Hear me out: this is how it unfolds step by step, the perpetration, the rigged impossibility, the staggering toll. Awake before it’s too late.
Step 1: The Front-End Schemes – Rigging Entry with “Humanitarian” Cover
It starts at the border: asylum, TPS (Temporary Protected Status), and other loopholes flood the system with mostly low-skilled entrants from third-world or hostile nations. Over 75% lack high school diplomas, far from America’s merit-based intent.

Biden-era policies like CHNV parole flew in 532K+ from Venezuela, Cuba, Haiti, Nicaragua—mostly unskilled—under “humanitarian” guise, ended by Trump in 2025.

Asylum claims explode: 8M+ encounters 2021-2024, with bogus claims rubber-stamped due to overwhelmed courts. TPS extends to nations like Afghanistan, Sudan—hostile or unstable—letting recipients stay indefinitely, work, and access benefits.
The perpetration: Politicians minimize upfront illegality with “compassion” talk, knowing the magnitude overwhelms back-end checks. Once in, they’re “legitimized”—the con baked from the start.
Step 2: Handing Out IDs – The Gateway to Legitimacy
With entry granted, blue states issue IDs to undocumented, turning law-breakers into “residents.” 19 states (mostly blue like CA, NY, MN) allow driver’s licenses without citizenship proof.

These “valid” IDs open doors: bank accounts, jobs, benefits. In MN, Walz’s “Driver’s Licenses for All” (2023) handed thousands to noncitizens—critics call it “made for fraud.”
The perpetration: IDs “legitimize” the cycle. No federal citizenship check—front-end rigged to veil downstream abuse. Politicians know: once ID’d, auditing eligibility becomes a needle-in-haystack nightmare.
Step 3: The Fraud Cycles – Welfare, ACA, Social Security Exploitation
IDs unlock fraud: welfare scams, ACA subsidies, Social Security theft—nearly impossible to audit at scale.
- Welfare Fraud: Undocumented ineligible federally, but states loophole it (e.g., CA’s $9B Medi-Cal for 1.6M undocumented, federally subsidized emergencies).

- ACA Fraud: GAO’s 2024-2025 covert tests: 23/24 fictitious apps approved, costing $10K+/month in subsidies.

- Social Security Fraud: Undocumented pay $26B in taxes but use stolen SSNs for benefits—FAIR estimates 1M fake IDs. Deportation worsens insolvency, but fraud drains the fund.

The perpetration: Front-end IDs enable back-door exploitation. Politicians know audits can’t catch it all—volume and complexity overwhelm.
Step 4: Impossible Audits – Baking in the Con
Audits are futile: like emptying the ocean with a teaspoon. GAO tests show fictitious apps sail through—23/24 approved because front-end checks are minimal. Once “legitimized,” verifying thousands/million is nearly impossible: understaffed teams, fatigue, deadlines mean shortcuts. “Low detected fraud” is the con—caught cases low, not fraud low.
The perpetration: Intended from the start. Rig front end loose, back end drowns in magnitude. Power preserved—import votes, keep control.
The Total Cost: Bleeding the American People Dry
The toll: $182B annual for illegals (FAIR), $150.7B net burden. Lifetime per immigrant: $68K drain. Welfare/ACA: $135B net, with MN’s $250M scam a drop in the bucket. Soc. Sec.: $26B contributions, but fraud/stolen IDs cost billions in improper payouts.
Citizens pay: higher taxes, strained schools/hospitals, lost jobs. The kind-hearted give, but are led to slaughter—unwittingly supporting “compassion” that erodes everything.
The Existential Warning: Awake Before the Slaughter
This cycle is no accident—front rigged to perpetuate fraud, impossible audits bake it in. You’re conned into crying for your demise. If beneath you, fight literally to reclaim order. As immigrants who’ve fled such chaos, we warn: enforce the door. No proof? Do not pass Go. No more con.
