America Spends $7.8B Monthly On SNAP, Remove ILLEGALS From SNAP The Cost Would Reduce 70%!

[Reagan]

 

I think that's the point -- stop the money from going to illegals and they'll leave or they won't come!  A show of hands:  Who actually pays taxes to give money to illegals?  Anybody?  Let's see, I see a lot of hands go up on the left side of the aisle.  Well bless your heart!  LOL!

Doesn’t matter, if these aren’t facts, prove it.

I actually would like to know.

Personally I don’t care if Elmer Fudd posted these statistics. If they are indeed true that’s very disturbing.

Exactly right, even the National Enquirer scooped big stories, Rush Limbaugh, Tiger Woods and John Edwards.

It’s easier to dismiss the source if you can’t dispute the information.

Figures. Fictional characters may as well be where you get your info. It’s not disturbing because it is t true.

The effect on food and welfare support to the poor in the government shutdown has revealed that the noncitizen and illegal immigrant community has been benefiting from the taxpayer-funded programs more than American citizens — by far.

I'm not going to go line-by-line through census data right now. But, SIPP (Census Bureau) numbers do show a majority of households receiving SNAP and/or WIC benefits are headed up by illegal immigrant 'heads of households' applying for their children.

Of all immigrant-headed households (naturalized citizens and non-citizens) with young children, 43 percent are dependent on at least one of these programs.

It's a real issue, and ties back into the birthright citizenship question before SCOTUS. Not just who people think either. There are thousands of Chinese nationals who are paying surrogate American mothers to have their children for access to benefits.

Friedman succinctly stated--paraphrased--you can't have open borders and a welfare state. That's one of the reasons why I (as a conservative libertarian, for lack of a better definition) have always been against the Libertarian Party position of open borders unless we do away with the welfare state first. Which will never happen...

You sir are correct. Milton Friedman speaks truth. 
 

I believe this is the quote you are referring to.

"I am in favor of free immigration, but not if you have a welfare state. The United States had free immigration throughout 19th century, and up until World War I, really. But that was possible because the United States was not a welfare state.

He also said "When you start paying people to be poor, you wind up with an awful lot of poor people."

No really, post valid data that actually counters Reagan’s post.

Looked up. She’s just a MAGA social media influencer. I wouldn’t trust her data unless she shows where it came from.

If??

I thought some here said it was facts?

Can we get a confirmation? Another source besides a person that nobody knows.

THIS!!!!!

Looking at her X account, she is a wife, mom and MAGA/Trump supporter. That's it.

Why would we take that data seriously?

So people are just suppose to believe what this person posted to her X account? Just because she is a MAGA/Trump supporter?

Can you verify that data from an actual government source?

If it’s bothering you that much do some research yourself and prove her wrong. I would not be surprised if she is not far off.
