Scott DesJarlais: “They are saying we are seeking asylum. They are taught what to say.”

I am just saying that to plan this effectively, we need to address these issues that are real.

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

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

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