Illegal aliens in San Francisco have reportedly begun abstaining from food stamps in the belief it will help them avoid being detecting by the Trump administration. In fact, so many residents have turned against food stamps that the city is concerned.
According to the San Francisco Chronicle, local Human Services Agency director Trent Rhorer has noted that households with one illegal are wondering how much information will reach administration officials if they use food stamps, also known as CalFresh. Eligible families also wonder whether the administration will cut food stamp benefits to immigrants.
Rhorer is upset by the tension. He said, [Eligible families] are putting their household in further jeopardy of not being able to pay the rent, or not being able to pay utility bills because they have to buy food. These are benefits they are entitled to receive, and theyre playing by the rules. They shouldnt be penalized by this negative commentary coming out of the White House.
In the last two months the number of households withdrawing from food stamps has been well above the norm. For example, the normal drop rate is less than 60 households a month, yet 150 households withdrew from the program in March and April alone.
Families where children are legal residents but were born to parents who came here illegally are most prone to drop CalFresh at this time, the Chronicle reports. But the city has made clear that the only people who have to provide information are the family members who apply for benefits. That is reportedly intended to limit the amount of information shared with the federal government.

Big Food using the government to boost demand, crony capitalism exemplified.

Yes. The working taxpayers were paying for all of it.
They should not be eligible in the first place. But at least this is another step in the right direction under Trump.
I’ll get relieved when they start forgoing Medicaid.

They’re using Medicaid to pay for all the anchor babies they are birthing out. They are not going to voluntarily stop using it, IMO.
I don’t think so, either. Sigh.
Disregarding our nation’s immigration laws has made ICE the enemy. Only in America are illegals ‘eligible’ for benefits.
Hey, illegal alien invaders...you can run and hide...BUT we will find you, seize your assets and deport you. HAHAHAHAHA. Get our of our country!
REALITY CHECK---They come here penniless, from places where they crap in a hole in the ground---and suddenly they're in the money. THE US GOVT CASH HAUL IS HUGE cashing multiple US govt checks under several identities in all off these categories:
UI, SSI, Workmen's Comp,
TANF (temporary assistance to needy families),
WICS (food assistance),
subsidized Section 8 shelter,
ObamaPhone subsidies,
Utility Assistance subsidies,
School breakfasts/lunches/snacks subsidies,
$5000 a year EITC checks per identity.
Not to mention falsifying EBT apps claiming "need"---buying non-food items w/ tax dollars.
Falsifying sub-prime mtg apps---flipping the houses among themselves for a big profit---then skipping town---leaving the banks holding the bag.
And on and on and on...ad infinitum, ad nauseaum.
===================================================
THE BETTER QUESTION IS THE COST TO TAXPAYERS?
DO THIS NOW---CONTACT CONGRESS HERE:
http://www.contactingthecongress.org/
DEMAND CONGRESS SEND YOU THE FOLLOWING INFORMATION:
HOW DO SANCTUARY CITIES DISPERSE FEDERAL TAX DOLLARS?
<><> How many tax dollars were allocated "to protect Americans from illegal felons"?
<><> How many tax dollars were spent "to secure and manage our borders," and "reduce the number of illegal immigrants and amount of contraband getting into the United States"?
<><> How many tax dollars were spent to "enforce and administer immigration laws"?
<><> How many tax dollars were spent "to provide safe and secure detention of illegal immigrants in federal custody if they are a flight risk or a public safety concern"?
One small step for Illegal-Alien-Kind...
One large step for Trumpism!
Because they all rights of an American citizen bestowed upon them by the bureaucrats, no questions asked.
I call BS on this. They get free housing assistance, free utility assistance, free lunches, free healthcare and travel vouchers to and from their offices.
“entitled”....hate that word.
