Maybe Spanish speakers are the growing group of poor that need food stamps.
Surely the government must know what they are doing if they are providing this education in Spanish.
The benefits are issued to the parents, who may or may not be here legally. This is one of many scams illegals use to fleece taxpayers. They give birth on U.S. soil to avail themselves of ALL of our tax-funded benefits. The U.S.-born children of illegal aliens feed the family. Regardless, we have enough needy citizens to feed. If a non-citizen can't live here without relying on government handouts, they are certainly not a benefit to our country.
A few posts back you stated that that a "non-citizen" for the purpose of SNAP eligibility could be "legal or illegal". We saw that really didn't work out for non-citizens under the age of 18 either. Let me refresh your memory:

Are people actually reading (and understanding) the eligibility requirements in this USDA document?...
You would choose to strike eligibility from a legal immigrant that has been here over five years in Legal Permanent Resident status, or that has worked "40 quarters" (equivalent to ten years) under a valid Social Security number, despite that they just had not naturalized? If an LPR naturalizes (possible after three years married to the same U.S. citizen while an LPR, or five years if not) they are eligible based on income, not their origins of being a legal immigrant. Glad that you consider a nurse (one-third being foreign-born) or teacher of no benefit to the United States if they need assistance on getting food.

And the answer about non-citizen children qualifying for SNAP was what?...

What part of illegal alien parents receive food stamps on behalf of their U.S.-born children did you not comprehend? When did I mention nurses or teachers? Perhaps you'd like to quote me. Furthermore, how many nurses and teachers are receiving food stamps? I know quite a few nurses and teachers, and they are all earning too much to qualify for food stamps. Perhaps nurses and teachers where you live are low wage earners, but not in the DC area. Would you care to share your source?
I reiterate, if a non-citizen cannot live in this country without relying on government assistance, they do not benefit our country. Moreover, if they have not changed their status after having lived here for 10 years, clearly citizenship is not their goal.

Used to be non-citizens had to have sponsors and they had to agree regarding their financial support.
With all that free food being given away through food stamps,,you know the food prices are going to rise and we paying customers are going to see an empty wallet because of food getting so expensive... no free bees for working people. It is a supply and demand thing.. more the government gives , the more that is bought.. the higher the prices go.
It includes a five-year, 21.6 percent increase in base pay that will boost the average annual salary of a D.C. educator from $67,000 to about $81,000 and gives the city's public school teachers salaries comparable to those in surrounding suburban districts, according to a union survey.
