Scott DesJarlais: “There is no question that we must address the systemic failures of the SNAP Program if we want to ensure that it remains…”

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

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

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

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