U.S. Secretary of Agriculture Brooke Rollins joined Fox News on Sunday and addressed the American people about the USDA's massive effort to combat fraud in the Supplemental Nutrition Assistance Program (SNAP).

Rollins said that the Trump administration sent letters to all governors prohibiting illegal aliens from accessing benefits, with a historic request for state data to be audited alongside the Department of Government Efficiency (DOGE). She said only 29 states cooperated, primarily red and some blue states.

She said her team and DOGE found some of the most shocking fraud ever, resulting in the purging of 700,000 ineligible recipients since the president's inauguration, and arrested 118 individuals.

Will democrats demand those who were illegally getting benefits and taken off, get back benefits, be reinstated, be exempted from prosecution, and given US citizenships for democrats to vote to reopen the government?

Progress as long as the DEMS don't start making demands or getting the ACLU and other organizations involved.

Wow.  Imagine what those numbers would look like if those other 21 primarily blue states had been included.

Most normal people think of SNAP as a supplemental stipend to aid in food purchases. You would naturally think $100 or $200 or so. That is how it began. But the Democrats under Obama and Biden perverted it into a slush fund to bribe voters. From what I understand by the SNAP people bragging on the internet, they were getting thousands a month. Some were getting as much as $5000+ a month in SNAP as well as free housing, free cell phone, free internet, and free healthcare. No wonder so many SNAP people drive Escalades.

There seems to be an established underground market to sell SNAP money. One woman on the internet said, I get $2000 in SNAP per month. I buy the food I need and sell the remaining $1600 for $1200 in cash and that is what I live on. All of this is tax free.

These guys were so sure of themselves, so arrogant and proud, that they were bragging about how much they are getting. Some of them were even taunting and laughing at the "stupid people who work".

If yalls try takin away my SNAP money, I'm gonna burn the whole country down! SNAP plus all the other Democrat benefits became their sole source of income. So taking away SNAP is the same as getting 'fired' is to a normal person. They have nothing else.

All of the talk about raiding Walmart is nonsense. They do that anyway. SNAP was their salary. For them, SNAP was only indirectly related to actual 'food'.

Best way to take care of this is to eliminate this program and hand it back to the states, where it belongs.

There will be a lot more accountability and the goal of reducing the size of the federal government will be that much more achieved.

SNAP was just one of dozens of government programs the Democrats were using to bribe illegals to come to America. SNAP was a major pillar of illegal immigration but it is certainly not the only one. As Trump's staff and DOGE continue to dig, they will soon find how deep the rabbit hole goes.

Most people believe that Democrats LOVE illegals because they want votes. That is only part of it. The Democrats are using illegals as a conduit to funnel money overseas and as a step into the money laundering process. Democrats pay illegals obscene bloated so-called benefits. In turn the illegals send the money 'home' (meaning to foreign accounts) as well as so-called 'donating' money back to Democrat candidates and to the Democrat Party. The illegals are told that they have to 'pay tribute' (boss's cut) when they get the money. And from the countries the illegals come from, they know 'exactly' what that is all about.

The Democrats are a lawless criminal gang. The Democrats refuse to fight the cartels and even support them because the Democrats are themselves a kind of criminal cartel. This is why Democrats LOVE criminals and crime. The Democrat Party is entirely a criminal conspiracy within the American government, and it is amazing how many Republicans are part of it (or go along with it).

The fact that illegals continue to collect food stamps tells me that the statement above is pure bullshit.  I clearly remember Republicans lining up last December (at the behest of their new President-elect) to vote for an additional $110 billion in freshly printed money to give to illegals.

It's the money, stupid.  Stop funding Democrats with taxpayer money.  Stop giving away free shit.  Balance the damn budget.
