I'm Sorry, But HOW MANY Illegals Get Food Stamps?

The organization's 2023 analysis of government data showed that "households headed by illegal immigrants make extensive use of the welfare system, particularly food assistance programs."

[PJMedia.com] It's astounding, the things we learn when the money runs out and governments actually have to start prioritizing for a change. As the Schumer Shutdown drags through Week Five with no end in sight, the country's Supplemental Nutrition Assistance Program (SNAP)—aka "food stamps"—ran out of money on Saturday. And given who was taking, it's a miracle that there was any money left at all. (Screengrab image from 2024: via PBS News Hour)

Agriculture Secretary Brooke Rollins reported yesterday that earlier this year, "we told every state to send us their SNAP data so we could make sure illegal immigrants aren't getting benefits meant for American families. 29 states stepped up. 21 blue states refused— and two SUED US FOR ASKING!"

That's because we're spending billions on benefits to illegal aliens.

My guess is that the Center for Immigration Studies—which bills itself as "low-immigrant" yet "pro-immigration"—was being a bit ironic with this headline: Illegal Immigrants To Be Hit Hard As SNAP and WIC Benefits Expire.

The organization's 2023 analysis of government data showed that "households headed by illegal immigrants make extensive use of the welfare system, particularly food assistance programs." CIS estimated that 59% of households headed up by an illegal are on one or more welfare programs, whether it's cash, food assistance, Medicaid, or housing.

Read that again. We're giving cash, food, healthcare, and housing to people who aren't even supposed to be here.

Millions of them, in fact. Even though I could have sworn that Democrats insisted up and down that sort of thing never happened. No wonder 21 blue states didn't want Rollins looking at their books... Subscribe for free to Breaking Christian News here
