Exactly. And I also find it ironic that not even a year ago, people (mostly on the right) were crapping all over the idea of Universal Income. A concept that has been around for decades. And now, faced with the possibility of a pandemic that may last months and the prospect of 20%+ unemployment, we're about to get the first real live case study and implementation of it.
I know you don't care but here are the facts:
People who are not legal residents of the U.S. are not eligible to take part in what is formally known as the Supplemental Nutrition Assistance Program.
But many poor families include a mix of non-legal residents and legal ones, such as children who have citizenship because they were born in the U.S. In those cases, it is often an adult who is not a legal resident who submits the application.

Over and over, you parrot the lies and propaganda......
Providing the truth has no effect on brain-dead Leftist drones like you.
In this world-turned-upside-down context, let's look at the eligibility rules for Food Stamps, rules that in 46 of the 50 states mean that the U.S. government rewards a household for having an illegal immigrant within it.
As humorist Dave Barry says, I am not making this up.
Such households have a mix of illegals (often parents) and citizens (usually kids); only the citizens are nominally eligible for the benefits of the program, but if groceries purchased by Food Stamps are on the dining room table, the common-sense assumption is that all members of the family will benefit from it.
Yes, all else being equal, a low-income household with one or more illegal aliens in it, is more likely to get Food Stamps than a household with similar income with all members being legally present. In another, related scenario both families are eligible, both have equal incomes, but the one with an illegal alien member seems to get a larger allotment.
The Food Stamp Program Rewards Households with Illegal Aliens
"According to the Department of Agriculture, 1.5 million noncitizens received food stamps in the 2015 fiscal year, as did 3.9 million citizen children living with noncitizen adults.
Undocumented immigrants are never eligible for food stamps, though they may live in a “mixed eligibility” household that does receive them. For instance, it’s not uncommon for undocumented parents to apply for assistance on behalf of their citizen children."

A couple of years later I was working with the Colorado State Food Stamp program at a time when Richard Lamm (D) was governor. I found, on arriving, that while illegal aliens were not supposed to get these benefits there was nothing on the application form that indicated place of birth, nor was there any technique for checking with INS on applicant eligibility. We got the forms changed and arranged for the state's Food Stamp authorities to plug into an early version of E-Verify as to the immigration status of the applicants.

Reality
Try it
Ronnie raised taxes 11 times and clawed back almost all that revenue lost in that one tax cut you think is a big deal
And he still managed to increase the debt by an unheard of amount
"Obama enticed illegals to come to America for one purpose only....to vote."
That's a link you have completely failed to make. If there is a problem with SNAP blame Congress who wrote the law. If you have a problem with advertising the program in Mexico, according to your Breitbart link, the money for that is in the spending bill passed by a Republican-controlled Congress.

"Reagan’s legacy affects us dramatically today in two ways. First, Reagan’s anti-Communist foreign policy and his military buildup hastened the disintegration of the Soviet Union. In the past eight years, America’s victory in the Cold War generated a half-trillion-dollar peace dividend. That peace dividend grows every year, and it fell like manna from heaven into President Clinton’s lap. The budget deficit is falling, not primarily because Clinton raised taxes and not primarily because the congressional Republicans committed themselves to a balanced budget, but because the defense budget is nearly $100 billion lower today than when the Berlin Wall came down.
The second effect of the Reagan years was to launch America into what is now widely regarded as a remarkable 15-year low-inflation, high-employment bull market (the Dow was at 800 in 1982, 8,000 today)—interrupted only mildly in the middle Bush years. These 15 years of prosperity were propelled by Reaganomics: lower tax rates, a long-run decline in inflation and interest rates (which also lowers tax rates), freer international trade and a strong dollar. Even with the anti-supply-side Bush and Clinton tax hikes, the top tax rate today of 40% is far below the towering 70% tax rate that disabled the economy in the 1970s. The end of the Cold War has created an international environment of peace and stability, nudging the economy into still higher gear in recent years."

Very little of that was done by "small government" philosophies.
In fact nothing Ronnie did was indicative of a small government advocate
So stop deluding yourself

Yeah he saved it by making unemployment rate that was on the decline when he took office increase his first 3 years in office to over 10%, he saved it by convincing you people that he cut your taxes when he actually didn't.
And you still think he is some small government guy.
The fact is the Soviet Union never had us beat in the number of nuclear weapons as you were led to believe.
and then there is this
Reagan and the Russians - 94.02
Revised estimates by the Central Intelligence Agency indicate that Soviet expenditures on defense remained more or less constant throughout the 1980s. Neither the military buildup under Jimmy Carter and Reagan nor SDI had any real impact on gross spending levels in the USSR
A far more persuasive reason for the Soviet economic decline is the rigid "command economy" imposed by Stalin in the early 1930s. It did not reward individual or collective effort; it absolved Soviet producers from the discipline of the market; and it gave power to officials who could not be held accountable by consumers. Consequently much of the investment that went into the civilian sector of the economy was wasted. The command economy pre-dated the Cold War and was not a response to American military spending. The Soviet Union lost the Cold War, but it was not defeated by American defense spending.
The Soviet Union was doomed before Reagan took office

Another Liberal lie.
"SO ON WHOM or what do we bestow the title of the "evil empire's" killer? Was it Mikhail Gorbachev himself who pulled down what Lenin and Stalin had built up? It is tempting to finger Gorbachev, but this would ascribe too much wisdom and foresight to a man who wanted merely to reform, but not to relinquish, the empire. At no point, however, did Gorbachev want to yield Moscow's pride of place as the number two superpower. And he was blissfully confident that the risks were tolerable: "There is no reason to fear the collapse or the end of socialism", Gorbachev assured Romanian leader Nicolae Ceausescu three weeks after the Berlin Wall had been breached and three weeks before the Romanian dictator was executed by his own people."

- The US volunteered to submit its arsenal of nuclear weapons to an international body so that nuclear power would on be used for peaceful purposes only. The Soviets rejected the proposal. “Lilienthal-Baruch Plan proposed by the United States (calling for international control of nuclear weapons).” Soviet Union - THE SOVIET UNION AND NUCLEAR ARMS CONTROL Most nations endorsed the plan, but Stalin used his UN veto to kill it.
- In the next years the Soviets renounced their nonaggression treaty with Turkey, and made territorial demands on same, instigated a civil war in Greece, had the Czechoslovakian Communist Part seize power, and attempted to choke West Berlin. “At the same time Stalin moved to aggressively export his personal brand of communism to areas outside immediate Soviet control, and he was soon engaged in the covert support of communist efforts in Greece, Turkey, and Italy.” Expansion was accomplished by “secret support of communist movements, such as the effort in Greece and Turkey, and the support of proxy armies in such areas as North Korea.” http://library.by/portalus/modules/...ll&id=1189693158&archive=&start_from=&ucat=9&

In order to both shield their beloved communism, and hide the achievements of the greatest President in 100 years, Reagan, government school never reveals how the Soviet Union, unopposed by Democrats and aided by Roosevelt, were near conquering the world before Reagan.
If the Right does not wrest control of the schools from the Democrats/Liberals, as earlier Republicans pried their slaves away from them, this country is doomed.
- “Between 1974 and 1980, while the United States wallowed in post-Vietnam angst, 10 countries had fallen into the Soviet orbit: South Vietnam, Cambodia, Laos, South Yemen, Angola, Mozambique, Ethiopia, Nicaragua, Grenada and Afghanistan. Never had the Soviets lost an inch of real estate to the West. The Brezhnev Doctrine stated simply that once a country went Communist, it would stay Communist. In other words, the Soviet empire would continue to advance and gain territory…” "How the East Was Won"
If the Right does not wrest control of the schools from the Democrats/Liberals, as earlier Republicans pried their slaves away from them, this country is doomed.

The Soviet Union was going to collapse under it's own weight because communism and command control economies are inherently flawed
How do you explain that the Soviet Union's defense spending was constant and relatively flat for both the Carter and Reagan administrations when you say it was Reagan's arms race that bankrupted them?
Your narrative doesn't fit the facts
