[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]Look up the charts on what percentage is going to non US born people, mostly from a handful of countries.  Already Trump admin has eliminated 700k people who shouldn’t have been on SNAP.

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. [/quote]

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.[/quote]

They're citizens and it's unconstitutional to treat them differently.[/quote]

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

Again with who you think “should” be eligible. [/quote]

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. [/quote]
