The USDA’s Supplemental Nutrition Assistance Program, commonly referred to as SNAP or food stamps, is supposed to help families who are American citizens. While the Department of Agriculture insists that SNAP benefits are only for U.S. citizens and other legal residents, the leaflet seems to suggest otherwise.
In an email, a spokesperson for the SNAP program told The Daily Caller, which first reported on the leaflet, that “non-citizens who are unlawfully present, are not, nor have they ever been, eligible to receive Supplemental Nutrition Assistance Program (SNAP) benefits.
The leaflet, released late Thursday by the conservative group Judicial Watch, will raise questions about the Obama administration’s commitment to limiting the expenditure of taxpayer funds to eligible Mexican nationals – meaning those with legal permission to reside in the United States.
‘The revelation that the USDA is actively working with the Mexican government to promote food stamps for illegal aliens should have a direct impact on the fate of the immigration bill now being debated in Congress,’ Judicial Watch president Tom Fitton said in a statement.
‘These disclosures further confirm the fact that the Obama administration cannot be trusted to protect our borders or enforce our immigration laws. And the coordination with a foreign government to attack the policies of an American state is contemptible.’
Fitton’s group also obtained a March 2010 USDA flyer advertising a taxpayer-funded online seminar for nonprofits serving Hispanic communities. The teaching session, promoted as being ‘free for all participants,’ taught activists how to get USDA funding to provide free lunches during the summer.
And in a March 2012 communication, Judicial Watch said, the USDA asked the Mexican Embassy to approve a letter addressed to that country’s 50 consulates. That letter encouraged staff at those Mexican diplomatic missions to learn in another webinar how to encourage more of ‘the needy families that the consulates serve’ to enroll in the SNAP program.
This comes as the United States is facing a debt number that might never be paid back, and everything the Obama Administration has put into motion has only added to it. With an estimated 11 million illegal immigrants in the United States, the type of immigration reforms the they’re seeking to create will only put this country further down the path to destruction.
