if you fail to flow with the tide it will roll without you; 

Despite official action to essentially wipe migrants out of the Social Security system, a new report said one bureaucrat refused to go along.

Greg Pearre, a manager who according to The Washington Post oversaw technology experts, was refusing to put names of migrants into what’s known as the “death master file,” which is usually used for Social Security recipients who have died.

As a result, on Thursday, security guards arrived at Pearre’s office at Social Security Administration headquarters in Woodlawn, Maryland, and escorted him out.

As with all Trump administration innovations, blocking access to migrants’ Social Security numbers has its critics.

“This is an unprecedented step,” Devin O’Connor, a senior fellow at the progressive Center on Budget and Policy Priorities, said in response.

“The administration seems to basically be saying they have the right to essentially declare people equivalent to dead who have not died. That’s a hard concept to believe, but it brings enormous risks and consequences,” he said.

But White House Press Secretary Karoline Leavitt said removing illegal immigrants needs to be done.

She said putting migrants in programs that have been terminated into the death file so their Social Security numbers will be rejected shows that “the Trump Administration is protecting lawful American citizens and their hard-earned Social Security benefits, and ensuring illegal immigrants will no longer receive such economic entitlements.”

“Anyone who disagrees with the common sense policies of this Administration can find a new job,” she said............more.
