The Agriculture Department says SNAP benefits are only to be distributed to U.S. citizens and other legal residents. On its website, it acknowledges an education partnership with the Mexican government, but insists that its aim is to help educate only eligible Mexican nationals living in the United States about nutrition benefits for which they might qualify. That education partnership is carried out through a program called Ventanillas de Salud, meaning Windows to Health, implemented through 50 Mexican consulates in the U.S. NEW EVIDENCE PROVES OTHERWISE The revelation that the Obama Administrations USDA is actively working with the Mexican government to promote food stamps for Illegal Aliens should have a direct impact on the fate of the immigration bill now being debated in Congress, Judicial Watch president Tom Fitton said in a statement. These disclosures 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. Last year Alabama Republican Senator Jeff Sessions complained in writing to USDA Secretary Tom Vilsack that, It defies rational thinking for the United States – now dangerously $16 trillion in debt – to partner with foreign governments to help us place more foreign nationals on American welfare. An estimated 11 million illegal immigrants are living in the United States. President Obama and a bipartisan group of eight U.S. Senators are gathering support for comprehensive immigration reform legislation that would put most of them on a path to legal residence and, conservatives allege, both amnesty and citizenship. Former Iowa Governor Tom Vilsack is President Obamas Secretary of Agriculture and is responsible for the SNAP programs operation.
