No. They are US citizens who immigrated years ago and have legally obtained social security numbers.

"The Trump administration has moved to classify more than 6,000 living immigrants as dead, canceling their Social Security numbers and effectively wiping out their ability to work or receive benefits in an effort to get them to leave the country, according to two people familiar with the situation.
The move will make it much harder for those affected to use banks or other basic services where Social Security numbers are required..."

No.
You cannot obtain a US-issued SSN if you are NOT a legal citizen. These people are probably green card holders, naturalized citizens, here working on a visa/studying on a visa (H1Bs, F-1s, etc.), all of which are LEGAL immigrants. LEGAL. Keyword. They immigrated the correct way through the correct channels and were issued SSNs so that they can pay taxes and get services.
Just to clarify: a green card holder can have a SSN. When you are naturalized, you are no longer an immigrant.
The legal immigrants they are talking about here are probably asylum seekers whose status was recently revoked.

The word “immigrant” as used by OP, is completely MEANINGLESS.
Did you mean “illegal immigrants” OP? Maybe “aliens unlawfully present in the United States” perhaps?
If an alien is not here lawfully, why should they be receiving benefits, or expect to receive future benefits, reserved for U.S. citizens?
Aliens unlawfully in the USA are free to return to their home countries, where they can begin to pay into their own countries’ social security system.
If you have an SSN, then you are either a citizen, or you are here lawfully and re authorized to work under a legal visa program (H1B, seasonal workers for tourism or agriculture, etc). Illegal immigrants to not get SSNs. They might get TINs if they work to report earnings. But that’s the IRS, not SSA. This punishes the legal immigrants who have followed all the laws and don’t work under the table, and have not committed any crimes. And it keeps SSA from getting FICA taxes from immigrants who pay into the system, but often aren’t eligible for benefits to be paid out to them if they retire or disability. These workers are part of the reason the trust fund is still solvent.. And puts these workers in a position where they cannot rent a home, earn income except under the table, have a bank account— despite following the law.
I thought Rs wanted legal immigration? Well, this punishes legal immigrants.
Why would you do this? Trump is finding that deporting millions of people is hard, so he is trying to force immigrants present and working legally to self deport. Because ot turns out not being able to get a W2 job, rent housing, get a car loan, have a bank account, etc, etc makes it almost impossible to live here
And knowingly marking people who aren’t dead as dead has a ripple effect that messes the whole SSA computer house of cards. And it’s flat out illegal to lie when modifying government records (also, DOGe is blatantly ignoring an injunction that says they cannot access or modify SSA PII. Turns out the criminals rent the green card holders on H1Bs who are being marked dead. They are the DOGe Bros. I hope they all get shipped to El Salvador.

Illegal aliens don’t qualify for benefits.
That is not what they are doing here. They are illegally changing federal records and declaring legal immigrants as dead when they are actually alive.
