The Food Stamp Saga – Your Money Given to Fraud and Illegals

The Food Stamp saga continued as the Schumer shutdown revealed there is waste, fraud, and abuse of the SNAP program.

Food stamps appear to be going to numerous people that may not be the usual recipients for government assistance. On top of that, the food stamp saga was revealed during the Schumer shutdown as riddled with fraud and people who are not legally eligible for such benefits.

Afghan, Somali, Iraqi, and Haitian immigrants along with hundreds of others were added.

Food stamp spending – your money squandered?

The Biden administration raised the level of food stamp spending from $4.5 billion to $11 billion. How? By adding illegal immigrants to the program. Democrats and liberals feel that the US has to be “compassionate” to everyone who illegally crossed the US border. That’s not compassionate. It leaves ordinary Americans in the dust and makes taxpayers responsible for people who are not legally eligible.

Fraud and corruption are so rampant within the nation’s mammoth food stamp program that the government is quietly investing millions of dollars in a special initiative aimed at cracking down on the waste that has long plagued it. In fiscal year 2024 nearly 42 million low-income households got food stamps at a cost of around $94 billion. A substantial chunk of approximately $10 billion annually is paid out fraudulently and without proper intervention the figure will only grow, according to a recent academic study. “Despite a 350 percent increase in spending on efforts to improve program integrity over the past decade, waste and fraud—particularly from benefit trafficking and eligibility misreporting—remain pervasive,” researchers found.

We have a pathway to change it all – and cutting back the food stamp program is one way to do it.
