COURTS have orderd the administration to pay SNAP and they are refuseng to do it. It has nothing tp do with the shut down. SNAP benefits were never cut off in a shut down before. Until this one.

What makes them unworthy of SNAP? Less than 11% of recipients are foreign born, but that alone doesn’t make them ineligible for benefits. The numbers I see show the foreign born recipients are mostly naturalized citizens followed by refugees and other legal permanent residents.

Setting aside refugees, as they should get help for the initial transition period, why would we import poverty? People coming here should have the skills to be self sufficient or their sponsor/guarantor should be paying for their food.

They're citizens and it's unconstitutional to treat them differently.

Well there should be better screening for public charge throughout the process. And those who sponsored them and promised to be a financial support for them should be required to pay those benefits back to taxpayers.

Again with who you think “should” be eligible.

It's already apart of the immigration process to determine if they could potentially become a public charge. It's also apart of the process for them to have a financial sponsor. These aren't things that I think. They are long established rules to avoid this very scenario where people are immigrating here then becoming a financial burden to the country.

I'd also point out that naturalized citizens can be treated differently in some scenarios than born citizens.

Point to a law or a chart yourself that supports anything you just posted. You can't. Because its not correct.

I can’t believe you absolute morons are arguing about who “should” and “should not” receive SNAP while the billionaires are picking your pockets. Fools, all of you.

Where exactly should the $8 billion come from?

Both can be addressed at the same time. Two things can be true at once. We should not import poverty and billionaires should be taxed enough to pay for universal healthcare for citizens.

Is it possible for anyone on this forum to make a point without name calling?

Maybe we can borrow it from Argentina.

+1. Why is this so difficult for people to understand?

It’s difficult because it’s wrong. Repeating lies doesn’t make them true.

Democrats have voted 15 times since September AGAINST funding the government, including SNAP. That’s literally why there is no money. Period, full stop.

You saying “period, full stop” is like putting fingers in your ears to block the truth.

Not how a person how aspires to being well informed would act.

None of this makes sense to me.

This doesn’t make sense because our government has reached a severe point of dysfunction. If this was a parliamentary system they would be calling a new election right now. It’s really bad.

And Trump would be booted out.

OUR only option is impeachment.

And the puppets the Republicans put in office won’t do their jobs (of honoring the Constitution). They literally have not reported to work for 8 weeks—though they are collecting paychecks.

The Democrats stand ready to negotiate. The Republicans won’t even show up in DC.

What’s there to negotiate?

Pay attention.
Schumer just made an offer to the Republicans.

Thune called it a nonstarter. Johnson won’t even let his caucus come to work.

That is one side trying to negotiate and the other stonewalling.

Schumer’s offer links reopening the government with extending the ACA subsidies. They are two completely different issues. His offer lacks seriousness. There’s nothing to negotiate. Pass a clean CR first.

Why do you want to raise healthcare costs for middle class?
