Scott DesJarlais: “We need transparency in order to make sure people are taken care of.”

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.

I firmly believe SNAP was intended to temporarily serve American families, giving them the leg up they need to be self-sufficient.

I have been imploring different agencies, including USDA, to get real numbers and transparency.
