46. I would not trust the Trump administration to handle generating and assigning new SSN # to everybody.

They would bungle it or worse use that opportunity to deny it to people such as those of us naturalized citizens. They would find excuses to say it needs to be investigated to make sure we are true Americans. Same thing could happen to older African Americans. Many, especially in rural areas cannot easily produce a birth certificate. They were born at home, the birth was not recorded, especially during Jim Crow.
