The article below, written by a liberal “journalist” at The Washington Post, highlights illegals withdrawing from food stamp programs in order to “avoid detection” and deportation.Well, good, because those programs are paid for by American citizens FOR American citizens.
Can you imagine if you or I went to Mexico illegally, and demanded their citizens pay our way?
We’d be tossed out of the country.
Rightfully so.
The author of the article paints a bleak picture of “victimized families” who are being starved out by President Trump…..Helpless children going hungry because mean ol’ Republicans won’t help.
Untrue.
We’re happy to help people who are here legally and follow the laws of this nation, and if a child is in trouble, there’s always help available – either here, or in their parent’s home country with family and friends.
What the author of the article manages to do, is make the case that illegals are a burden on our already strained system.
This is why it’s important and humane that we build the wall along the southern border.
That way we can halt the influx of illegals who are not able to take care of themselves and their families.

Luisa Fortin sometimes sits up at night, wondering what her clients are eating. She is the SNAP Outreach Coordinator for the Chattanooga Food Bank — but lately she has done less outreaching.
Since mid-January, five of Fortin’s families have withdrawn from the SNAP program. One, the single mother of three citizen daughters, had fled to Georgia to escape an abusive husband. Another, two green-card holders with four young children, were thinking of taking on third jobs to compensate for the lost benefits. These families represent a small fraction of Fortin’s caseload — she estimates she has signed 200 immigrant families up for SNAP over the past six months — but based on the calls she gets from other clients, she fears more cancellations are imminent.
