Illegals getting food stamps

[Rambunctious]

The truth is that non citizens have been getting government giveaways for decades. We all know it.


Non-citizens on food stamps: Sen. Sessions wants answers | The Daily Caller

Last month, in a letter recently obtained by TheDC, Vilsack revealed that the share of overall Supplemental Nutrition Assistance Program (SNAP), or food stamp, benefits going to legal non-citizens has accounted for between 3.5–4.0 percent of the total caseload since 2004.

So legal immigrants account for just four percent of all food stamps.

Shit, when you consider 16 percent of Americans are on food stamps, that speaks very highly of our immigrants!

“You emphasized that food stamp eligibility ‘has never been extended’ to illegal aliens. However, as you know, illegal immigrants can apply for food stamp benefits on behalf of eligible members of their households,” he wrote.

So out of the four percent of all food stamps, a smaller fraction of that may or may not be going to illegal immigrants.


This sure does explain our $16 trillion debt!

You're correct only if Vilsack's numbers are accurate...He will not answer the question submitted by a member of the house....that is the crux of the story. Please read the whole story before you respond. Besides $17 trillion will never become $16 or $15 trillion with attitudes like yours.

Although the number of immigrants in the U.S. is at an all-time high, the immigrant share of the population, now 12.9 percent, was higher in 1910 (14.7 percent) and 1920 (13.2 percent).

U.S. Immigrant Population at All-Time High: 40 Million

Newsmax. A trusted source for the anti-immigrant right.


So immigrants make up almost 13 percent of our population, but make up only 4 percent of food stamp usage.

I say we kick the Cuban boat people back! And all those people fleeing commie regimes. Screw 'em!

I did read it. What do you think I was quoting?

You read it yourself! Sessions is not disputing the four percent number. He wants to know how many of that tiny amount are actually illegals. That is what Vilsack was unable to provide.

Illegals getting food stamps are not what is breaking us.

Dipshit Sessions is pandering to people like you.

The only part that gives you an argument albeit a feeble one. What Sessions wants to know is how many illegal immigrants are getting food stamps because they may have one citizen in the house hold...presumably an American born offspring. And once again the members of this administration won't comply. I'm thinking the number is huge. I think the American people deserve to know this number... if it's us paying the bill we should get a look at it. Dipshit!

Obviously you failed to read – or comprehend – your own cited article:

“You emphasized that food stamp eligibility ‘has never been extended’ to illegal aliens. However, as you know, illegal immigrants can apply for food stamp benefits on behalf of eligible members of their households,” he wrote.

“To the extent that illegal immigrants do not have to expend their own resources to purchase food on behalf of others, they obviously benefit from that taxpayer-funded assistance…”

This is a non-issue, as the benefit amount is prorated based on the number of citizens in the household. For example, a household of 5, with three US citizens, would be issued benefits reflecting 3 eligible members in the assistant group, not 5.

To suggest, therefore, that the issuing of assistance to a household with non-citizen members somehow ‘benefits’ those non-citizens members is to exhibit ignorance as to SNAP eligibility and budgeting policy; this is yet another example of conservatives attempting – and failing – to contrive a controversy where none exists.

Moreover, to deny the entire household SNAP benefits, including denying otherwise eligible US citizens, solely because non-citizens were in the home, would be an un-Constitutional violation of due process and equal protection rights. See, e. g., Department of Agriculture v. Moreno (1973).

Why not openly give out an estimate? it's the number that is wanted. The American people can not make educated decisions on issues regarding government if we don't get all of the facts. Information is being held to a trickle and it's not helping us. I spoke with a suposedly well read individual yesterday that thought Benghazi was a republican trick to harm Obama. No info and not answering questions is not the way this nation will work. Why don't you get that? why do you except a member of the administration in not answering a legitimate question weather it's Vilsack or Holder or Clinton or anyone else. It's your Country too and there will not always be a Dem in the top job but the president will be established.
