April 25, 2013, that the Obama regime's Department of Agriculture (USDA)
Jan. 2013 statistics <http://www.fns.usda.gov/pd/30SNAPcurrHH.htm> show that
* one out of every five households in America -- a record 23.087 million
U.S. households or 47.69 million individuals -- are* now *on* Supplemental
Assistance Nutrition Program (SNAP), better known as *food stamps. *
That 23.087 million is an increase of 889,154 families from just a year ago
in January 2012. In fact, *the number of households on food stamps has
doubled in size in the last four years* under the POS.
But wait! The only thing growing faster than the number of households on
food stamps is *the cost of food stamp fraud*, which *has more than
doubled in just three years.*
Although seven major journalism groups and open-government organizations
have banded together in calling on the USDA to release data on where and
how the food stamps money is being spent, USDA officials have declined to
provide data on which retailers are benefiting and what types of products,
such as junk food and sugary soda, the money is spent on.
*The POS is intent on getting even more people on food stamps.*
>From Judicial Watch
<http://www.judicialwatch.org/press-room/press-releases/judicial-watch-uncovers-usda-records-sponsoring-u-s-food-stamp-program-for-illegal-aliens/>comes
the delightful [sarcasm alert] news that the USDA is working with the
Mexican government to promote participation by illegal aliens in the U.S.
food stamp program. Judicial Watch obtained that information only by
pulling teeth via filing a Freedom of Information Act (FOIA) request.
The USDA has provided the Mexican Embassy a Spanish-language flyer
<http://www.scribd.com/doc/137989529/No-Need-to-Declare-Status>advising
*Mexican
nationals in the U.S.* that they *do not need to declare their immigration
status in order to receive financial assistance. *In bold and underlined
Spanish, the statement reads, “*You need not divulge information regarding
your immigration status in seeking this benefit for your children*.”
The documents obtained by Judicial Watch show that *USDA officials are
working closely with their counterparts at the Mexican Embassy to widely
broaden the SNAP program in the Mexican immigrant community*, with no
effort to restrict aid to, identify, or apprehend illegal immigrants who
may be on the food stamp rolls. In an email to Borjon Lopez-Coterilla and
Jose Vincente of the Mexican
Embassy<http://www.scribd.com/doc/137982884/KC-Star-Intervention>,
dated January 26, 2012, *Yibo Wood*
<http://www.meas-extension.org/workshops/y-wood>of the USDA Food and
Nutrition Service (FNS) sympathized with the plight of illegal aliens
applying for food stamps, saying, “FNS understands that mixed status
households may be particularly vulnerable. Many of these households
contain a non-citizen parent and a citizen child.”

That email from Wood was in response to a request from the Mexican Embassy
that the USDA FNS step in to prevent the state of Kansas from changing its
food stamp policy to restrict the amount of financial assistance provided
to illegal aliens. In a January 22, 2012, article, the *Kansas City
Star*<http://www.alipac.us/f12/kansas-slashes-food-aid-children-illegal-immigrants-248853/>had
revealed that the state would no longer include illegal aliens in its
calculations of the amount of assistance to be provided low-income Hispanic
families in order to prevent discrimination against legal recipients.
In 2006, Judicial
Watch<http://www.judicialwatch.org/blog/2006/10/u-s-promotes-food-stamps-illegals/>revealed
that the
*USDA was spending taxpayer money to run Spanish-language television ads
encouraging illegal immigrants to apply for food stamps*, with the
assurance that receiving food stamps "won't affect your immigration
status." The TV commercials even provided a phone number to apply.
Judicial Watch President Tom Fitton observes that the USDA actively working
with the Mexican government to promote food stamps for illegal aliens
“further confirm the fact that the Obama administration cannot be trusted
to protect our borders or enforce our immigration laws. And the
coordination with a foreign government to attack the policies of an
American state is contemptible.”
