Apparently for the democrats, the illegals healthcare is more important than the food stamps of citizens.

The contingency funds are there for natural disaster aid. Schumer’s Shutdown, while a disaster for America, was concocted by Democrats and has nothing to do with a natural disaster, e.g. hurricanes and floods.

An illegal in the US reportedly left behind a receipt showing over $13K EBT Food Stamp balance and over $4K EBT Cash balance!

Cash…?!?!?!

A totally untraceable benefit, to be spent on anything…

Didn’t Putzger make a 700 million dollar Snap error before the shutdown ? Wasn’t worried about benefits before

How many billions did Pritzker and Johnson spend on illegals that could have covered SNAP payments to citizens and legal residents?

Apparently, the notion of banking some money for unseen circumstances is lost on Dems. “ Got it, spend it!” seems to be their mantra and then moan, gnash teeth and wail ( while ignoring their shortsightedness ) blaming the whole mess upon Trump, global warming, Nixon and the Confederacy.

Why don’t they sue Durbin and Duckworth to simply vote to reopen the government? They only need a couple more Dems.
