Returning the favor, for our liberal friends

Everything tastes better with Kimberly Guilfoyle on top....and Sophia on the bottom.

Very Funny! What's going on right now is NOT FUNNY. If you really love America, as I am sure most Americans do, you wouldn't make jokes like that...especially when American born children are starving, while illegals live high off welfare and food stamps.

That is totally bogus. Do you know what group is the largest user of food stamps? Military families.

[Guest123018-4]

And what part of the group is minorities.
Seems like once again our government is fucking over the ones most in need.
War on poverty has been lost to poverty.
Do you think that maybe the tactics are wrong?
More people on food stamps ever in history since Obama took office.

Wrong. Military families use food stamps at a higher rate (25%) than civilians (13%) as of 2009. But considering that all branches of the US military combined number about 1.4 million, the food stamp use by military pales in comparison to that of the general population. Which is bigger, 25% of 1.4 million, or 13% of 313 million?

Hey, I figured it out. "HoustonMilfDebby" is Shiela Jackson Lee.

Actually, illegal immigrants aren't eligible for SNAP benefits (that's what food stamps are called these days). For details, you can look here.

As for "welfare," I suppose it depends on what you mean. But illegal immigrants aren't eligible for any welfare program that I know of. Legal immigrants qualify for Social Security and Medicare after being here (and being legal) for ten years.

The most recent study of food stamp usage by service members was conducted in 2003 before significant gains in military compensation occurred. Even at that time, only 2100 service members were on food stamps, which was about one tenth of one percent of the active duty force.

Since 2002, military basic pay has increased by 42 percent, housing allowances by 83 percent and food allowance by 40 percent -- compared to a 32 percent rise in private-sector salaries, according to Defense Department compensation officials.

Almost any service member who qualifies for food stamps today has a large family and lives in base housing. Most of them only qualify because the value of base housing is not considered as income by the Department of Agriculture in determining food stamp eligibility.

In fiscal 2008, a total of 328 service members received Family Subsistence Supplemental Allowance (FSSA) at some point during the year. That was 0.02 percent of the 1.4 million on active duty.

So you, a lawyer, are arguing that people who came into this country illegally are above committing other illegal acts while continuing to remain in this country illegally?

Maybe you can pander your Kool Aid to your brethren zombie-Dims, TTH. Yeah, they're gullible enough, they voted for Odumbo.
