As for the illegal alien in the story, of course he didn’t come in looking for disability, he wasn’t entitled to any. Besides he’d already received over 20 years with of payments in the form of $200,000 + worth of free medical care. My buddy who lost a leg to an infection had to give up his $50k a year job as a surveying crew chief and every so often has to go in to prove he’s too disabled to do his former job just so he can get an $800 a month SSDI check. He worked as a volunteer stage carpenter for a children’s theatre until they hired him full time at less than half what he’d been making as a surveyor. He once took off his prosthetic and handed it to the disability judge and said “Well Your Honor, Do I look like I’m still disabled to you?” He was at the top of a ladder adjusting some stage lights and the snaps on his prosthetic popped loose and he had to hop down the ladder on one leg.
