Oh, I see. When it was the Bush administration, neither you nor the Congress was too concerned. Now that Obama's name can be attached to it, it's suddenly a major issue....right?
I did not like Bush's stance on illegals ago more than I like what is going on right now!
The Mexican government has been working with the United States Department of Agriculture to increase participation in the Supplemental Nutrition Assistance Program (SNAP), or food stamps.
Newt Gingrich, who negotiated a welfare reform bill with President Bill Clinton when he was Speaker of the House, described President Obama’s new rule undermining that law as “almost certainly illegal.”
Gingrich added that “President [C]linton and the [R]epublican [C]ongress created a bipartisan work oriented reform of welfare,” in a second tweet. “Obama has single handedly destroyed it,” Gingrich said.
In 1996, after constructing two welfare reform bills that were vetoed by President Clinton[12], Gingrich and his supporters pushed for the passage of the Personal Responsibility and Work Opportunity Reconciliation Act (PRWORA), a bill aimed at substantially reconstructing the welfare system. Introduced by Rep. E. Clay Shaw, Jr., the act gave state governments more autonomy over welfare delivery, while also reducing the federal government's responsibilities.
It started the Temporary Assistance to Needy Families program, which placed time limits on welfare assistance and replaced the longstanding Aid to Families with Dependent Children program. Other changes to the welfare system included stricter conditions for food stamps eligibility, reductions in immigrant welfare assistance, and recipient work requirements.[13] http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Persona...pportunity_Act
I would really like to know the underlying reasoning behind a push to make people dependent on the government.
And they aren't happy with citizens dependent but now immigrants as well ?
One would think the government would be pushing programs to make people independent and able to function in life by themselves.
Do you think socialism has anything to do with it.
Next step: Using food stamps to purchase food on line.
"The partnership — which was signed by former USDA Secretary Ann M. Veneman and Mexican Secretary of Foreign Affairs Luis Ernesto Derbez Bautista in 2004..."
We have plenty of laws on the books that have laid dormant, never enforced, or ceased to be enforced. One that comes to mind would be the enforcement of the laws regarding illegal immigrants, or would the failure to enforce be due to the fact that they are now classified as "undocumented Americans"??
Apparently, at least Schwan's does accept food stamps, but one has to present their card to the delivery person to make the transaction. I doubt Schwan's is the only company to do this. Companies are continuously and actively lobbying to be included in the EBT program, including fast food chains.
That more illegal aliens are being deported under Obama?...
he just gave amnesty to 800,000 illegals.
while we have millions out of work what a slap in every Americans face that is out of work
They are not being deported because of obama they are being deported because the states are fed up with the GOV not doing their job and following the law and they have taken matters into their own hands.

"Amnesty"? What did they receive under the terms? And how are "the states" deporting illegal aliens themselves?
