How many illegal aliens are on food stamps? The correct answer should be zero. The actual answer is a lawsuit being filed by 21 Dem states to prevent the federal government from finding out. This parallels the previous lawsuit by 20 states that I wrote about to stop correctly reclassifying multiple kinds of welfare for illegal aliens as federal public benefits.

The latest lawsuit goes after the USDA for requesting data from the states about food stamp recipients including their social security numbers.

States don’t want to turn over social security data for a reason that they’re happy to spell out in their lawsuit, they’re afraid that the federal government will use it “to build a searchable database on citizens and non-citizens alike for a variety of purposes, including to locate and deport people the administration wishes to remove from the United States.”

“SNAP recipients provided this information to get help feeding their families not to be entered into a government surveillance database or be used as targets in the president’s inhumane immigration agenda,” California AG Rob Bonta complained.

21 states have admitted that they are mismanaging their food stamp programs to benefit illegal aliens but they are suing to protect this ongoing abuse.
