发帖数: 29846 | 1 Food Stamps for Mexican Illegals Survive Obama Sequester
by Jammie
No White House tours, but plenty of money is still available for those who
break our laws. The man does have his priorities.
Salmonella outbreaks. E. coli outbreaks. Millions of dollars in economic
losses.
These are among the scenarios the Obama administration warned about last
month as it claimed the sequester would force the U.S. Department of
Agriculture to furlough meat inspectors.
But while the administration prepares to take that step, it continues to
pursue a “partnership” with the Mexican government to “raise awareness”
about food stamps among immigrants from that country. When a top Senate
Republican proposed cutting off funds for that program last week — in the
form of an amendment to a budget resolution — Democrats on the Budget
Committee shot it down.
It’s hard to put a firm price on the cost of the partnership, which was
launched under the George W. Bush administration. But an aide to Sen. Jeff
Sessions, R-Ala., who has railed against the partnership for months, said it
could easily be in the millions. Since 2004, the program has blossomed to
include dozens of meetings and conferences and health fairs with Mexican
officials — all of which cost money, not to mention the cost to the food
stamp program of new enrollees brought in as a result of this partnership.
Sessions, in a statement to FoxNews.com, said he believes the public
will eventually demand an end to the program, though the Senate Budget
Committee allowed it to continue in the vote last week.
It’s unlikely these illegal grifters are “unaware” of all the goodies
they get for sneaking into the country. Why else would they come? In the
meantime, watch what you eat.
Meanwhile, the USDA continues to press forward with plans to furlough
meat inspectors, describing it as a necessity of the sequester — though the
department has eased off a bit on warnings that this could lead to more
foodborne illness, since all meat and poultry will still have to be
inspected. | r******g
