Scott DesJarlais: “Rather than blame people, let's learn from our mistakes.”

We could literally be looking at several million new SNAP recipients, and we need to be prepared for that.

We have 42 million people on SNAP now. We have had roughly ten million crossing over, most of them seeking asylum.

I ask the Chairman to enter into the record a document from USDA Food and Nutrition Services on SNAP policy for non-citizen eligibility.

With the record influx of illegal crossings at the southern border, I was wondering what steps you are taking to mitigate potential strain on the SNAP program.
