USDA Flyer: We Don't Check Immigration Status for Food Stamps
Big Government ^ | 4/26/2013 | Tony Lee

A government watchdog group has discovered that the United States government is advising Spanish-speaking residents that they need not declare their immigration status to qualify for food stamps.

Judicial Watch obtained the Spanish-language flyers through a Freedom of Information Act request and announced on Thursday that the "promotion of the food stamp program, now known as 'SNAP' (Supplemental Nutrition Assistance Program), includes a Spanish-language flyer provided to the Mexican Embassy by the USDA.

A statement on the flyer—emphasized in bold and underlined—reads, “You need not divulge information regarding your immigration status in seeking this benefit for your children.”

Judicial Watch president Tom Fitton said of this discovery, the "USDA is actively working with the Mexican government to promote food stamps for illegal aliens." This implication, he asserted, "should have a direct impact on the fate of the immigration bill now being debated in Congress."

THERE FIXED IT The vermin in the WH say, “DHS, Obomba, Holdumb, and other top admin officials have the authority to decide which laws to enforce, and which ones to ignore.”

Thanks for the post/ping '93. Thanks for your posts, Liz, AuntB and all.

NTL REVIEW/DAVID HANSON----The Tsarnaev brothers have offered us a teachable moment about what have become near-suicidal US immigration policies. Unless the government can assure the public that it is now enforcing immigration laws...

The Tsarnaev and...to smaller, smaller and smaller degrees...MILLIONS of others have offered us a teachable moment about what have become deliberate, pre-meditated US immigration smoke-and-mirror policies by TREASONOUS elected representatives to undermine, deceive, plunder, rape and murder law abiding American citizens.

(Why sugar-coat it David Hanson?)

TREASON - continuous, in-your-face, pre-meditated, agency-abetted, representative-enabled, ongoing...
