Your data is apples to oranges. The data you show for the 2016 to 2020 period is enumeration for all immigrants in ALL forms.  The data we showed in our slide last night in Wisconsin was just Enumeration Beyond Entry ("EBE") immigrants. The difference is Enumerations at Field Offices. These have remained stable at about 1 mln/year excluding COVID. We focused just on EBE because it ramped as a direct result of growth in the various asylum programs.  Your chart mixes the two categories: showing all immigrant Enumerations from 2016 thru 2020 and EBE only from 2021 to 2024.  Here is the chart back to 2019 for Enumeration Beyond Entry which is when the EBE basically started.  I want to thank the good people at the Social Security Administration for their expert help. We would not have been able to understand this complex system without them. There are many terrific people at SSA serving their fellow citizens. We are very grateful. I believe these facts speak for themselves. As the son of legal immigrants to America, I am an ardent supporter of legal immigration.

Contract update! Today, agencies cancelled 109 wasteful contracts with a ceiling value of $1.1B and savings of $420M, including a $3.1M @ENERGY contract for “website development services” and a $2.7M @CommerceGov contract for “marketing consulting services outreach and engagement support services”.

For the past 4 weeks, @SocialSecurity has been executing a major cleanup of their records. Approximately 9.9 million numberholders, all listed age 120+, have now been marked deceased. Another ~2 million to go. https://t.co/EiPCC5rcCl

Each year, the United States Institute of Peace (USIP) receives $55M in congressional (taxpayer) funds. - Prior management would sweep excess funds into its private Endowment (zero congressional oversight). -In the past 10 years, USIP has transferred ~$13M to its private Endowment, mainly used for private events and travel. USIP contracts (now cancelled) include: - $132,000 to Mohammad Qasem Halimi, an ex-Taliban member who was Afghanistan's former Chief of Protocol. - $2,232,500 to its outside Accountant, who attempted to delete over 1 terabyte of accounting data (now recovered) after new leadership entered the building - $1,307,061 to the Al Tadhamun Iraqi League for Youth - $675,000 for private aviation services

The Biden Admin spent $4M in tax dollars on a museum to tell a selective story of @EPA history. It costs $600K per year to operate even though only 1,909 external visitors came through in the last 9 months. Today we are closing it. https://t.co/ghTQ2MQX4N

As of Friday, $4.3B of COVID era funds remained unused and mostly dormant. Thanks to the work of @SecretaryLCD and @Sonderling47 @USDOL, $1.4B was recovered and returned directly to the Treasury general account, and team is moving urgently to return the remaining $2.9B. This had been pointed out in a 2023 IG report, and action is now being taken. https://t.co/XCRqDpxUiP

Over the last 3 days, agencies terminated 121 wasteful contracts with a ceiling value of $351M and savings of $156M, including a $1.6M DEI contract for “strategies for implementing ‘social emotional’ learning”, and a $143K Dept. of Transportation contract for “social media support services”.

Tyler and the @Interior @DOGE team work tirelessly every day (including weekends!) to save taxpayer dollars and help balance the federal budget so we can pay down the national debt. They’re individually reviewing 36,000+ Interior grants and contracts and have identified massive amounts of waste, fraud, and abuse already! Tyler talked about this common sense effort of government efficiency last night with @ElonMusk and @BretBaier 🇺🇸

Great work today by @USDOL @SecretaryLCD @Sonderling47 cancelling $577M in “America Last” grants for $237M in savings, including: - $10M for "gender equity in the Mexican workplace" - $12.2M for "worker empowerment in South America" - $6.25M for "improving respect for Worker's rights in agricultural supply chains" in Honduras, Guatemala, and El Salvador - $5M for "elevating women's participation in the workplace" in West Africa - $4.3M for "assisting foreign migrant workers" in Malaysia - $3M to "enhance social security access and worker protections for internal migrant workers" in Bangladesh - $3M for "safe and inclusive work environments" in Lesotho

For the past 3 weeks, @SocialSecurity has been executing a major cleanup of their records. Approximately 7 million numberholders, all listed age 120+, have now been marked as deceased. Another ~5 million to go. https://t.co/z2GUQnPkhd

As of Friday, @SBAgov now: - Requires date of birth collection for all direct loan applications - Pauses the direct loan process for those under 18 and above 120 years old Basic sanity checks like these are initial steps towards minimizing fraud in government payment programs. https://t.co/dPPnwqMBvD

Core HR systems (onboarding, job histories, org chart, benefits, etc.) are not consolidated in the federal workforce. From a March 2025 @USGSA survey of 29 agencies, there are 111 instances of 59 unique HR software products offered by 19 commercial vendors and 11 federal “vendors”. Price per employee for these systems are 3-10x higher than in private industry. And the majority of said systems do not allow the agencies to easily create or view a basic org chart. DOGE and agencies are working to fix, with pilot projects starting this week.

For the past two weeks, @SocialSecurity has begun a major cleanup of their records. Approximately 3.2 million numberholders, all listed age 120+, have now been marked as deceased. More work still to be done. https://t.co/nmAggTdLON

In 2020-2021, @SBAgov issued 3,095 loans, including PPP (Paycheck Protection Program) and EIDL (Economic Injury Disaster Loan), for $333M to borrowers over 115 years old who were still marked as alive in the Social Security database. In one case, a 157 years old individual received $36k in loans.
