Secretary of Agriculture Brooke Rollins issued a directive on Tuesday that tightens restrictions on access to food stamps, limiting such benefits exclusively to American citizens and legal immigrants.
It is another common sense move being implemented by the new administration to dissuade illegals from attempting to game the system.
“The days in which taxpayer dollars are used to subsidize illegal immigration are over,” Secretary Rollins said in a press release. “Today’s directive affirms that the U.S. Department of Agriculture will follow the law—full stop.”
The move directs the Food and Nutrition Service (FNS) within the Agriculture Department to “immediately clarify and enforce all rules restricting its beneficiaries to U.S. citizens and legal residents only.”
