Food Stamp Nation goes international | Conservative News, Views & Books
“The Mexican government has been working with the United States
Department of Agriculture to increase participation in the Supplemental
Nutrition Assistance Program (SNAP), or food stamps,” the Daily Caller
reported on Thursday.
This is not a new development. The cross-border outreach program has
existed since 2004. What’s news is that Congress, specifically Sen.
Jeff Sessions (R-Ala.), is demanding information and documentation from
Secretary of Agriculture Tom Vilsack about the size and scope of the
program, how much American taxpayer money it consumes, and its effect on
illegal immigration. Thus far, Sessions’ questions have not been
answered.
