“There’s been a lot of miscommunication out there on the program, but this is one of the first things we did. When I walked into Day One of USDA, February 13th, is we sent letters to every governor in America being very clear that no illegal aliens can use SNAP. Zero,” [USDA Secretary Brooke] Rollins said. “We asked every state for the first time in history — and this was in February — to send us their data and let us, with DOGE [Department of Government Efficiency] and a war room, actually start going through this data to better understand how this explosion of SNAP benefits happened under Joe Biden. We increased almost 40% on this program in just a couple of years under the Biden administration.”
“Since we have asked for that data, 29 states have complied. Of course, almost all the red states, a couple of the blue states too. But in that data — and I haven’t talked about this yet publicly — in that data we have found, we have thousands and thousands of illegal use of the [Electronic Benefit Transfer] EBT card,” Rollins added. “We have been moving people off of SNAP. We’ve got almost 700,000 people I think we’ve moved off just since the president took office. We’ve arrested about 118 people. So this has been ongoing.” More
It’s a good start. But there’s a LOOOONG way to go.
Make the beneficiaries PROVE their “worthiness”. Citizenship, handicap, drug free. Fail any of those three, yer off…..forever.
Yep, remove the benefits to the illegals, they’ll self deport.
As for the “blue” states that don’t want to give up their data, cut off all FedGov monies. All.
On Twitchy they have a sob story about a woman that’s been on food stamps for over THREE FUCKING DECADES!
So, the imperial judges have spoken?
I missed that part of the U. S. Constitution where the courts control the raising and disbursement of public funds. Probably right there with the creation of quasi governmental departments that cannot be dissolved by the Executive.
Our local Woodmans is open 24 hours. I was there yesterday morning and the cashier said normally there are people there with carts full of groceries waiting until 12:00AM on the 1st so they can pay for their stuff. The first two days of this month have been quiet. I explained to her why.
Also check all the ILLEGALS that have been and will be arrested along with those that have been deported to see if they are collecting SNAP Benefits. If they are, remove them so family or others still here can not keep grabbing these benefits from these existing accounts.
I do not understand how the EBT card/SNAP program works. I do not know the qualifiers to get a EBT card.
The cards were not reloaded Nov 1. Do funds roll over or do you start fresh every month? If they start fresh cancel the cards and let them reapply when funding comes back. If it rolls over the mechanism to reload money on EBT card need to be removed and all accounts that get to where they are less than a dollar are canceled. Again, reapply as funds become available provided you do not have an old EBT card that had any credit on it.
