Equality
 

I support this change as it truly discriminates against US citizens who have income and who are applying for SNAP benefits.  Example:  US citizen household of 4 countable income = $2600 would not be eligible however if a household of 4 that contains 2 illegal wage earners would be eligible as their countable income would be $1300.  We are an agency that states we do not discrimanate across the board however this type of case does not support that value.  How is this fair and equal?
