From the article: At the beginning of July, more than 2,000 families with undocumented immigrants stopped receiving food stamp benefits due to a change in Utah’s rules. Now a growing number of them are showing up at emergency food pantries confused and needing help.

From the article: Earlier this year, the state announced it would begin to fully count the income earned by all members of a household when determining food stamp eligibility. Previously, only a portion of undocumented immigrants’ income was counted in the food stamp calculation, due to the limitations of an old computer system. That meant, in some prior cases, that a family with several undocumented members might qualify for food stamps ALTHOUGH A FAMILIY OF NATIVE UTAHNS MAKING THE SAME AMOUNT OF MONEY MIGHT NOT. “We believe this is fair and equitable across the board to treat all people equally when it comes to calculating the benefits that people get when they apply for food stamps,” said Curt Stewart, a spokesman for the state Department of Workforce Services, which oversees the food stamp program.

The expandeded definition of American 'equality': Some are 'more' equal than others. As for "benefits," prospective employees always discuss "benefits" when negotiating for a new job; we're long past granting prospective citizens to have this same negotiating power. The system is badly in need of an overhaul.

From the article: "The cost is going to shift somewhere else or there is going to be other social consequences of not having food for people,” she said.

Well, the cost-shift already has taken place: From one country to another; from one illegal immigrant family to the taxpayer. So, according to this Utah legislator, we can't even bring illegal immigrants in line to receive the same "benefits" as citizens without this great "social cost." Sorry, we've already been overbearing this great social cost accelerated by Johnson's 'Great Society' of the 1960s!

and wonder if Americans are being given preference over them.

..????...get your food stamps in Mexico

““But, of course, I have to feed my family,””

Well, someone has to.....she is the only one who seems to not want to do it

The socialist media cannot bring themselves to calling people who are illegally in this country illegal aliens.

an undocumented mother of five who works as a housekeeper at a nursing home.

They need to locate this nursing home, impose a heavy fine, and demand that it fire this woman and any other illegals working there.

Food pantries should be forbidden by law to give food to illegal aliens.

Make them go home. There should be nothing here for them.

RE :”That meant, in some prior cases, that a family with several undocumented members might qualify for food stamps although a family of native Utahns making the same amount of money might not. “

Illegals complaining that they are no longer put at front of food stamp line in Utah.

The democrats now ( as with the amnesty RINOs before them ) keep telling us that we need to get illegals in the system so they pay taxes. What taxes are they talking about? Do they mean so illegals can get tax credit welfare checks?

About damn time!!

“But, of course, I you have to feed my family,” said an undocumented mother of five....." There, fixed it.

They shouldn't have been given them in the first place. Why should American citizens work their butts off to support people from other countries? At the very least, their home country should be sending them their aid.

and wonder if Americans are being given preference over them.

Well, DUH. Of course American citizens should be given preference. This is our country!

Man, these people have their nerve. They sneak in here and then demand we all work to support them!

An ILLEGAL IMMIGRANT should NEVER have gotten any government aid of any sort - EVER!!!

Take away their free ride and they’ll leave on their own.

“...St. Mark’s Cathedral...” Good, let “The Church” feed them.

“But, of course, I have to feed my family,” said an undocumented mother of five who works as a housekeeper at a nursing home

I hear there's food in your home country. Go there and get it.

“I’m more concerned about the children,” Robles said. “The children are the ones who are impacted. They are the future in the nation.”

Actually no. It's American children who are the future of our nation. Illegal Mexican children grow up to be illegal Mexican adults, and should, like their parents, GTFO.

It’s about time.

“....and wonder if Americans are being given preference over them”

I’m in S. Utah. And that sentiment expressed above is the reason I do not donate to ANY of the food pantries here. I also do not contribute my time, even though Dixie Care & Share is only a few blocks from here.

The illegals here in S. Utah believe they are exactly entitled to everything that legal, taxpaying Americans are. And the LDS enables them.

S. Utah will be a third world place, between this mentality...the economic collapse of Vegas (2 hrs away) and the AZ immigration law.

It won’t be pretty. And I won’t be here.

But the families who have showed up at Hildegarde’s Pantry at St. Mark’s Cathedral in Salt Lake City have not understood the bureaucratic changes and wonder if Americans are being given preference over them.

How selfish of us to even think our tax money should go to take care of OUR citizen. Aren't we required to feed the world? Isn't that our sole purpose in life? How can we even think of feeding ourselves when there are illegal families out there who have to spend the money they earn under the table on things like food instead of the luxuries they deserve.

“But, of course, I have to feed my family,” said an undocumented mother of five who works as a housekeeper at a nursing home.

Poor thing, what makes her think she is entitled to American tax payers money. Oh, that would be politicians wouldn't it.

Solution:

Bus tickets and enough MRE’s for the trip home.

“I’m more concerned about the children,” Robles said. “The children are the ones who are impacted. They are the future in the nation.”

Yes, they are the future of Mexico. Send them back.

‘they cut my food stamps.’”

They aren't YOUR food stamps, bitch.
