Proposed change to handling income for illegal immigrants
 

I am in total favor of this change.  The way that income for illegal immigrants is being counted now in the SNAP program does not treat house holds equally for being ineligible for SNAP.  You are counting the entire income for the citizen and only a pro-rata share of the income for the non citizen.  This results in the citizen household  receiveing less stamps than the non citizen household.  This regulation has never made any sense.
