Incredible. First Secretary Mullin claimed that DHS had identified 15,903 noncitizens on Nevada’s voter roll.
Then DHS officials told a skeptical Nevada, no no no, that’s just people we flagged. Here are the names of 185 people we KNOW aren’t citizens.
All 185 were citizens. DHS got 100% wrong.

So why is Social Security in dire straits? One big factor is a huge favor to the rich, known as the tax cap. Everyone pays in the same Social Security tax rate — until income passes $184,500.
