 Illegal Immigrants To Be Hit Hard As SNAP and WIC Benefits Expire

Illegal Immigrants To Be Hit Hard As SNAP and WIC Benefits Expire

By Steven A. Camarota on October 30, 2025
Federal funding for the Women, Infants, and Children (WIC) nutrition program and the Supplemental Nutrition Assistance Program (SNAP), also called food stamps, runs out on Saturday due to the government shutdown. The funding cut-off will hit illegal immigrants hard. The Center’s 2023 analysis of government survey data shows households headed by illegal immigrants make extensive use of the welfare system, particularly food assistance programs.

Among our prior findings:

  • Of households headed by illegal immigrants, CIS estimated that 59 percent use one or more welfare programs — cash, food assistance, Medicaid, or housing.
  • Illegal immigrant households have especially high use of food programs, with 48 percent enrolled in one or more of these programs — SNAP, WIC, or school lunch/breakfast.
  • In particular, our analysis found that 17 percent of illegal immigrant households used SNAP.
  • In addition to food programs, 18 percent of illegal immigrant households were enrolled in one of the cash programs; 4 percent were using a housing program; and 39 percent used Medicaid.
  • Illegal immigrants often receive welfare on behalf of U.S.-born children, and illegal immigrant children can receive school lunch/breakfast and WIC directly. Some states provide Medicaid to illegal immigrants, and a few offer SNAP. Several million illegal immigrants also have been issued Social Security numbers allowing them to receive cash payments from the earned income tax credit if they work.
  • Many immigrants have modest levels of education and low incomes, so suspension of WIC and SNAP will impact a large share of this population. But this situation raises important policy questions, including whether it makes sense to have an immigration system that allows in so many people who turn to taxpayers to support their children.

    I possess a very low General Intelligence. But, this is all I have to work with, and using my limited brain, I hypothesize that the West never went to the moon. This is just my hypothesis. There is only one reason, and just one reason, why I speculate we didn’t go to the moon, and it’s because we can’t do it again. It’s been fifty-five years since we supposedly went to the moon, and even with all the technology we developed since 1970, we still can’t go back to the moon. And not only us, but Russia and China can’t go to the moon either. Russia was ahead of the USA in the space race during the Cold War, but they couldn’t go to the moon either. The Jewish people give the excuse that all the blueprints for the supposed greatest Jewish accomplishment in all of history – going to the moon – was in a small room, and a fire burned the blueprints, so we no longer have the blueprints to rebuild the spaceship to go to the moon. So, the multiple companies and entities that worked together to create the spaceship didn’t have separate blueprint copies, but kept all their sole copies of the blueprints in a small government room that had a fire. Really?

    Dr. Michael Anthony Woodley of Menie specifically stated that he believes that the West went to the moon, but that due to dysgenics / mutational load, we no longer have people smart enough to rebuild the technology to go back to the moon. While I agree that dysgenics / mutational load is real, that doesn’t explain why all the blueprints for the spaceship was “magically” lost. Lots of “researchers” of the “moon landing hoax” gives all kinds of supposed technical details for why the moon landing supposedly never happened, but I don’t’ care about all that and don’t have the IQ or education to understand any of that. I only have one and only one reason to speculate we never went to the moon, and this is the fact that we can’t go back. Not only can we not go back, but scientists say we are twenty years behind the technology required to be able to go to the moon. Does this not seem strange to anyone besides me? So, West supposedly went to the moon in 1970, even though Russia was ahead of the West in space exploration, yet today, even the collaborative efforts of Russia, China, North Korea, and India can’t get them to go back to the moon for another twenty years?

    The former head of the Russian NASA commented on RT that he is also skeptical about the claim that West went to the moon, and he had only one reason for this, which is the same as my reason, which is that even after fifty-five years of additional technology development, no one can go back to the moon.
