House and Senate negotiators, as part of a deal on the farm bill, have agreed to restore food-stamp benefits to legal immigrants that were eliminated in the 1996 welfare reforms.

The two sides have been trying to hash out differences in the bills that passed each chamber and the deal, announced yesterday, closely resembles the Senate's original bill. It would restore benefits to legal immigrants after they have been living in the United States for five years. It would also restore benefits immediately to legal immigrant children and disabled persons.

Yesterday, Mr. Goodlatte's reaction to the deal was terse: "The president has been very determined in his efforts to obtain food stamps for legal immigrants, and he has been successful," he said through a spokeswoman.

Ahem.

The ripoff of citizens continues. Too bad we don't have an American government instead of a NWO occupying force. We are now a conquered nation with a meaningless Constitution. With the exceptions of Waco and Ruby Ridge and assorted Arkanacides, the republicrats hijacked the country with hardly a shot.

"The conferees heeded the words of the majority of Congress and finally recognized that it would be undemocratic to not include my provision," said Rep. Joe Baca, Texas Democrat, who sponsored the motion.

Rep. Baca is a California DemocRAT, and a hardcore ethnic pimp and fifth-column raton to boot. Back in 1995 when proposition 187 was all the rage in California, Baca attended a Latino pow-wow at the University of California at Riverside, a hotbed of "Chicano" seditionists, called "The Latino Summit Response to Proposition 187". He proclaimed that they (presumably Mexican illegals, as that's the notorious group 187 was aimed at) were in a "civil war" over the successful 187.
