Yes. They want to transfer those costs.

America gets screwed but gets cheap wheat. After factoring in subsidies and government price controls I don't think it's so cheap anymore.

Another "cost" that is left out of the equation by the illegal immigrant labor lovers is the crime they bring, they are most likely on food stamps, they use the emergency room as a free health clinic, high teen pregnancy, and on and on.
Not "cheap labor" after all but the farmers get to spread out those costs to the taxpayer instead of paying a real wage out of their own pockets to a lawful citizen.

Actually Brownback is supporting a measure right now that has the illegal supporters up in arms. I don’t have the complete details, but essentially he supports a bill to actually count ALL income in a household when looking at food stamp eligibility. Apparently this is not done in illegal households, but
is in American households. This is backlash against this – in my opinion.
It would be amusing watching the libs argue against this (you know, actually treating citizens the same as people that aren’t), if it was so pathetic. The current “argument” against is that we’re going to be taking food from the mouths of children.

Works for me.

Good info. I'm not sure if it was accurate but I heard that they no longer count your assets against you for food stamps, just your income.
So if you live in a nice house, have a million dollars in the bank, and are driving a brand new Lexus but your current income is low enough you qualify for food stamps.
If true, it's just another sickening Democrat dependency generator.
