And if this were the point, by the time they did become a voting bloc, most of these guys wouldn't even be in office,

They're committing political suicide anyway. If the ethnic group that is here in the largest numbers ever reach majority especially from making citizens out of the illegal ones they will only vote in their own. These leftard white clowns will be toast politically.

Besides which most people still call them "foodstamps" regardless of how they're actually disseminated. Just the usual atempt to deflect.

And fwiw it's still known as the "federal foodstamps program" officially - go figure lol

Maryland uses EBT cards. It could be that you saw a mother purchasing WIC items, which are still crossed off a paper list.

Its niether here nor there...

You’re right -- it’s neither here nor there. Illegals are still sucking us dry, whether using paper documents or EBT cards. The end result is the same.

That's the most logical thing I've heard you say.

Memorize those words.

Default Y'all are funny

You bring up the illegal immigrant topic and anti-illegal viewpoints and get everyone talking about it but forgert that once the discussion opens up to all-all will become involved. The issue is HUGE, not as small as you all tried to make it to begin with. It's ALL up for debate now.

So get over it. You started something-now its time for real discussion compromise and solution.
