“Child Poverty” and the Illegal Immigrant Benefits Scam
by Antonio Graceffo Oct. 31, 2025 6:40 pm
The government claims to fight “child poverty” by providing benefits to low-income families so their children don’t starve. These programs also cover the citizen children of illegal aliens. Eligibility is based on the parents’ income.
However, illegal aliens working off the books do not have Social Security numbers, do not file income tax declarations, and are not even supposed to be employed. Because their income cannot be verified, the government simply accepts whatever number they write down. And if it is below threshold, the government gives them benefits.
State and local SNAP offices have policies against sharing data with ICE for the purpose of arrest or deportation, allowing this fraud to continue unchecked. The USDA claims that over 99 percent of SNAP recipients are eligible and that fraud is around 1 percent, but those figures are based on nothing. When income can’t be verified, those statistics are meaningless. And clearly, if free money is available for reporting a lower income, people will report a lower income.
This situation is exactly why so many Americans voted for President Donald Trump.
