SNAP income of ineligible immigrants
 

The income of ineligible / illegal / undocumented immigrants should be counted in full, just as the income of citizens.    It is wrong for citizens to be penalized for excess income and yet  ineligible / illegal / undocumented residents are able to receive benefits for their households because of proration of income.
