Archive video has surfaced of Chuck Schumer passionately talking about how government programs like Social Security are riddled with waste and fraud and need to be reined in, exactly what the Department of Government Efficiency he so vehemently opposes is now doing.

This footage from 1996 shows Schumer on the Senate floor remarking that “the number one reason” illegal aliens are sneaking across the border is so they can easily defraud such programs.

What changed?

Schumer wasn’t the only OG DOGE Dem, Nancy Pelosi also completely agreed that waste fraud and abuse are rife in Medicare.

The difference is that all they did was talk about it.

Pelosi also had her own 1996 moment, sounding very much like orange Hitler while talking about China, trade deficits, and tariffs.

Add these clips to the buckets of times Democrats talked about needing to close the border and stem the out of control flow of illegal immigration.
