These people are already in the USA. Nearly all are documented. Many are working. In any case, you're in favor of people going hungry? |
no, they should not go hungry but we need to be smarter as a country. stop importing millions of desperate people from "shithole" countries. that is common sense. in spite of the nonsense Democrats say. |
If you are MAGA, you are probably a moocher. Gasp! The reds take more than they give Don't tell me you are a high earning individual, with all this free time on your hands |
Nothing to do with SNAP. You are as meandering as Trump Try to keep to the point |
And how is your life better than it was 10 months ago? Cheaper groceries? Better employment options? More transparent and lower healthcare costs? Trump is just distracting from his complete inability to govern. |
25% of Haitian immigrants are on SNAP. 45% of Afghan immigrants are on SNAP. 52% of Senegalese immigrants are on SNAP. |
They are legally here What actual numbers are we talking about compared to all the whites? |
Republicans changed the law this summer. Even if those numbers are true (which I don’t believe) they no longer qualify for snap as of October 1 |
Why are they desperate and why are their countries shitholes? Could it have anything to do with western colonialism robbing them of their wealth and resources, as well as stoking centuries of divisions? Could it be centuries of centuries of industrial pollution now ruining the climate and making their environments unlivable? You break it, you buy it. Expect more to come. And eventually they won't be asking nicely at the borders. |

Meanwhile, so far what SNAP recipients are saying:
- “I’m having to use my own cash now to buy food.” - “I couldn’t go out this weekend because I had to pay for food.” - “I have to be aware of the cost of items before putting them in the cart.” - “I’m buying store brands and cutting coupons.” Millions of people discovered adulting overnight. |
We used to be a colony too. But we fixed it ourselves. Established 1776. It can be done. You’re welcome, world. |
disabled elderly and kids who are not old enough to work...moochers.

No cites? Typical MAGA you will still be spinning in your grave one day, you do it so much |
Those people are working poor; the people who are cleaning your houses, washing your dishes and tables at restuarants, picking food in fields etc. Maybe get upset that they work 50-70 hours a week and still qualify for SNAP? And if you want to complain about redistributing wealth, how about all that wealth that is getting redistributed to the 1% while people like you and me complain on message boards? Do you care that people like Elon Musk are making more in a day than people like you and me make in a year? |

90% of snap recipients are US born American citizens as of 2023. That number will increase because GOP megabill now prohibits refugees and other legally present immigrants from receiving.
according to recent data from the U.S. Department of Agriculture (USDA) for Fiscal Year 2023, approximately less than 11% of SNAP recipients were foreign-born. The specific breakdown of foreign-born recipients is as follows: 6.2% were naturalized citizens. 1.1% were refugees. 3.3% were other noncitizens, including lawful permanent residents and other eligible noncitizens. Conversely, nearly 90% of all SNAP recipients are U.S.-born citizens. |
