U.S. GOVERNMENT PARTNERS WITH MEXICO TO DISTRIBUTE FOOD STAMPS TO ANY MEXICAN  WHO CAN SWIM

The Mexican government has been working with the Obama  Administration to increase participation of aliens in the U.S.D.A. Food Stamp Program. This is going on while over one million U.S. families have children who go to bed hungry every night. Alabama Republican Sen. Jeff Sessions, who has been pushing for reform of  the food assistance program, sent a letter to Secretary of Agriculture Tom Vilsack on Wednesday demanding more answers and documents pertaining to the partnership. The agency has yet to supply documents and information requested by Sessions’ Senate Budget Committee staff, including the Memorandums of Understanding between USDA and the Mexican government regarding the food assistance partnership. In an interview with The DC, Sessions explained that the little-known partnership raises questions not just about where tax money is going, but about America’s immigration policy. “It’s a very disturbing policy, gone on for some years, and it raises very serious questions about American immigration policy as well as fiscal policy,” Session said. “Let’s get back to the fundamentals. What happened with the ‘96 welfare reform was to say that if want to you come to America you come legally, you assert you’re not coming for welfare benefits but you’re coming to work or otherwise be independent. There is no logic behind an immigration policy that would encourage immigrants who can’t successfully operate within the system. “Applicants need only attest that they are citizens of the United States, and the state must accept that attestation as conclusive,” Sessions explained in his letter.  The federal government has no idea how many ineligible illegal immigrants have accessed the Food Stamp Program.
