Myrthil, 38, of Brockton, Mass., is one of thousands of legal immigrants who don't qualify for food stamps because of changes Congress made in 1997. He can obtain food stamps only for his 3-month-old baby, who automatically became a U.S. citizen when she was born stateside. ``I have family, four brothers over here, a sister, when I need some food they can give me some food,'' he said.

Imagine that -- people choosing to provide for their own families, instead of forcing taxpayers to do it. What a novel idea.

Call me cruel, but I have no complaints about starving non-citizens. First, they are here illegally so they can get out of my country and two, where in the hell do they get off expecting that US taxpayers need to feed them? I am glad that the GOP moved money from those leeching districts.
