As the Supplemental Nutrition Assistance Program (SNAP) and Special Supplemental Nutrition Program for Women, Infants, and Children (WIC) run out of funding due to the government shutdown, more data is coming to light about the extent to which immigrants continuously receive such taxpayer-funded benefits.
During an interview with Fox News, Agriculture Secretary Brooke Rollins revealed that the agency has uncovered “thousands and thousands” of cases where individuals have defrauded SNAP and WIC programs.
The revelation was the result of the Agriculture Department asking states to hand over food stamp data to weed out usage by illegal aliens. Rollins said only 29 states complied with the request.
“What this conversation has allowed is a national spotlight on a broken and corrupt program. We found one guy in about six different states getting benefits, we found about 5,000 people who are dead who are still getting benefits,” Rollins said. “It is time to drastically reform this program so that we can make sure that those who are truly needy, truly vulnerable are getting what they need, and the rest of the corruption goes away and we can serve the American taxpayer.”
