House Speaker Mike Johnson erupted in frustration Thursday after learning that Democrat-led states filed a lawsuit against the U.S. Department of Agriculture (USDA) for attempting to determine how many illegal aliens are receiving taxpayer-funded welfare benefits under the Supplemental Nutrition Assistance Program (SNAP).

At a press conference alongside USDA Secretary Brooke Rollins, Johnson blasted Senate Democrats for prioritizing “political theater” over feeding American families as the government shutdown stretched into its 31st day.

“They sued the USDA for asking them, simply asking them to tell them how many illegal aliens are on the programs in California, New York, and these other states,” Johnson fumed.

“They sued them. You need to take account of what people are doing here in each party, the leaders and the President of the United States.”

Gov't has a right to know. The left is out of control with their suing stuff just so that they do not have to be held accountable.

But it works so well for them. Republicans are too stupid and gutless to react in kind.

Was there any Federal way of going about this where only citizens could be eligible for all future renewals of benefits? Thinking of veterans, disabled veterans, foster youth, and others who really need it.

Red Rosa DeLauro, my ex congress zombie (D, Ct-3) is the queen of food stamps in congress. She has expanded the program by billions over the years by loosening qualifying requirements. The program is screaming out for reform. It is a toxic waste dump of of waste, fraud and abuse.

Many are refusing to donate to charities because of the government shutdown and they blame the democrat leverage plan.

What about legal non-citizens? They should be receiving SNAP either.

Veterans, albeit mostly with mental or drug problems, sleep in the streets, they need help. Illegal aliens sleep in hotels with catered food paid for on my dime, they need to be sent back to country of origin. Not one damn dime for them from the taxpayer.
