"In a twist to notions of race identity, new 2010 census figures show an unexpected reason behind a renewed growth in the U.S. white population: more Hispanics listing themselves as white in the once-a-decade government count."
There is usually a box to check : are you a US Citizen?
That's not quite the same as asking if you are an illegal immigrant. NOt eveyone is either a US citizen or an illegal. Not to mention that the article states that the recipients are US born. I could see an illegal immigrant picking legal resident, even US citizen, but to pick USA as country of origin seems a bit far fetched.

Not sure if this is on the FS application, but I have seen it on government forms. So how do they know if you are US citizens or not. I have been under the impression that for government assistance, or legal issues health care, etc., workers are not allowed to ask your immigration status.
You have to provide documentation of your citizenship status when you apply. Those have to be taken into the office, not faxed or emailed or uploaded. Other documentation can be sent electronically (pay stubs/W-2, utility bills, rental receipts, etc.).

SNAP eligibility has never been extended to undocumented non-citizens. Specific requirements for non-citizens who may be eligible have changed substantially over the years and become more complicated in certain areas.

The parent's only need to show the baby's USA birth certificate. Usually they don't even have to go into the office, the social worker at the hospital helps them fill out all the forms and makes sure they get a copy of their newborn's birth certificate.
Someone can come over the border illegally, give birth 2 hours later and they will be given food stamps, not just food stamps but the birth will be paid for by Medicaid, Medicaid will pay for the child's postnatal care and after, the mother and child will be given WIC along with the food stamps and anything else they "need". And this happens a whole lot more than people realize.

Then the citizen is receiving the benefits - the child.

No, the whole family, the entire household receives food stamps. The food stamps are based on household size but it just takes one newborn "citizen" to start bringing in the government handouts.

–U.S. born citizens made up the majority, 94%, of food stamp households
thats their way of stating US citizen. U.S born citizen= U.S citizen. not equal to illegal alien or legal resident or exchange student or migrant worker. If one is legal resident but not a citizen they would most likely not check U.S. citizen, why would they need to they are here legally. If one is here illegally, my bet is they check U.S. citizen to avoid drawing attention. As others have said, if they have an anchor baby, our wonderful government considers them a U.S. citizen even if both parents are here illegally. Therefore a family of 6 may be receiving FS when only one is considered legal.
And I know ppl who receive FS. They dont have to provide a birth certificate.
