The Mexican government has been distributing information about the U.S. food stamp program through its embassy and dozens of consular offices, a partnership that one Republican senator says is the latest example of an "aggressive" push to "expand enrollment regardless of need."
Sen. Jeff Sessions, R-Ala., top Republican on the Senate Budget Committee, raised concerns about the program in a letter to Agriculture Secretary Tom Vilsack -- one week after he complained about a Spanish-language ad campaign encouraging residents to go on food stamps.
The USDA ended the campaign following criticism, but Sessions warned in his letter that the U.S.-Mexico partnership is a symptom of the same approach.
His concern -- that Mexican immigrants are being guided toward government assistance instead of "gainful employment."

I realize that illegals will take most any job that no one else on welfare or unemployment won't take because of the low pay. What I don't understand is why they have to send it back " home " so the rest of the family can come here and repeat the cycle. If they are not here legally, they should have to pay the same taxes as the rest of us and be held to the same laws as True citizens. I think they should be sent back home if they can't understand or speak English! How do they even shop for groceries if they can't read English? Do they just look at the picture on the can or box and decide that's what they want? If they buy a bottle of asprin, how can they read the label? I think most CAN read and understand but they play ignorant and pretend that they can't so they can get what they want.
Who's side is Obama on?
Why isn't any normal tax paying American Citizen outraged by this!!
