SNAP INCOME FOR INELIGIIBLE IMMIGRANTS
 

INCOME FOR INELIGIBLE IMMIGRANTS SHOULD BE COUNTED IN FULL, JUST LIKE THE INCOME OF LEGAL RESIDENTS.  IT IS NOT RIGHT TO PENALIIZE LEGAL RESIDENTS FOR EXCESS INCOME AND ALLOWING ILLEGAL RESIDENTS TO BE ABLE TO RECEIVE  SNAP BENEFITS BECAUSE OF PRORATION OF INCOME.
