(Washington, D.C., April 24, 2025) – Today, at the direction of U.S. Secretary of Agriculture Brooke L. Rollins, Acting Deputy Under Secretary for Food, Nutrition, and Consumer Services John Walk issued guidance to all State agencies directing them to enhance identity and immigration verification practices when determining eligibility for the Supplemental Nutrition Assistance Program (SNAP). This guidance is one of many steps toward fulfilling President Trump’s Executive Order 14218, which directs USDA and other federal agencies to “enhance eligibility verification systems, to the maximum extent possible, to ensure that taxpayer funded benefits exclude any ineligible alien.”
“President Trump has made it clear that American taxpayers will no longer subsidize illegal aliens,” said Secretary Rollins. “We are stewards of taxpayer dollars, and it is our duty to ensure states confirm the identity and verify the immigration status of SNAP applicants. USDA’s nutrition programs are intended to support the most vulnerable Americans. To allow those who broke our laws by entering the United States illegally to receive these benefits is outrageous.”

Agree. But I give it until Tuesday before some Democrat judge slaps a TRO on it.
If illegals no longer received freebies Trump wouldnt need to deport them, they would leave on their own..they only come here for the freebies that the Dem party promises them to vote Democrat
I agree 👍
Yeah, a Maryland Dad will watch his children starve and the judge will put an end to the situation.
We used to complain when welfare moms and dads would trade food stamps and cards to get drugs and booze while undernourished kids were locked in a back room when social workers found them.
Still something to complain about.
Yes.
“Charity” in the Christian and Jewish scriptures does not mean a political party taking money in taxes and spreading it out to voting blocs that benefit the party the most.
“Charity” is not a fulfilled and expressed virtue if the intent of the individual to be loving and kind is replaced by the government forcing it out of the people.
Example: The “healthcare” to give “a woman’s choice” through tax money to fund abortions.
According to USA federal judges, there are no ineligible aliens.
Every alien must be treated like a natural born USA citizen.
In many cases, treated even BETTER than a natural born citizen.
I can’t disagree with your post. It’s spot on!
Take away all the free stuff and most of them will self-deport.
Let’s pray for it happening 🙏
It kept people mostly honest about it because every bit of charity they got came from people that they sort of knew.
Yeah, there were people who took advantage of it but there were also people who would almost starve before taking any help because they knew it was coming from people who were not much better off.
You can still see this in food banks. If you go to one in a big city they are open every day and you see people loading up on meat and cookies.
If you go to a food bank in a small town they are generally open only one day a week which means everybody knows everybody and social pressure keeps you from taking more then your "share". Now that eggs are so expensive we have a sign asking people to limit themselves to one carton per week. There is nothing forcing them to do it. It is strictly on the honor system. But a good 95% of them do it.
You can, however, take as many sacks of ugly potatoes as you want. :)
Illinois will ignore it.
Oregon won’t ignore it, they have plans to make oregon taxpayers pay it.
I hope Trump and team find a way to block housing by requiring landlords access a free database to ensure their contract is valid by only renting to authorized immigrants and citizens…. Otherwise it will be deemed “harboring”
I have seen Hispanics with several carts pulling out a stack of SNAP cards from different states, running each one of them through until their groceries were paid for and then they paid for their beer with cash.
US Secy of Agriculture Brooke L. Rollins, Acting Deputy Under Secretary for Food,

“President Trump has made it clear that American taxpayers will no longer subsidize illegal aliens. USDA’s nutrition programs are intended to support the most vulnerable Americans. To allow those

Amen.
My thought, as well. Some judge will make sure the gravy train keeps a rollin’.
And self-deportation.
