SNAP Fix: Require Every Recipient To Reapply And Prove U.S. Citizenship

SNAP Fix: Require Every Recipient To Reapply And Prove U.S. Citizenship

A vetting process for SNAP can crack down on claims of widespread fraud and root out illegal aliens who are a net drain on the nation.

(ZH) – Federal judges ruled Friday that the Trump administration must use emergency contingency funds to cover Supplemental Nutrition Assistance Program (SNAP) payments for 42 million people amid the ongoing government shutdown, which is now in its 32nd day. SNAP benefits ended on Saturday, but the court has given the administration until Monday to appeal.

The shutdown, which began on October 1, continues as the Senate is scheduled to vote on reopening the government on Monday. Polymarket odds of a reopening on Monday are below 1%. Reopening odds by the end of the week remain at 16%. 

In the meantime, Google Search trends show “food bank near me” surged above Covid panic highs as those who rely heavily on the federal government to survive scramble for food.

Last week, major airlines and unions blasted Democrats for the government shutdown. Airline bosses demanded that leftist politicians back the Republican-led clean continued resolution bill. 

A video posted on X shows Benny Johnson telling Newsmax’s Rob Finnerty that if tens of millions of Americans were willing to stand in line for an experimental Covid vaccine, they can just as well stand in line for to reapply for food stamps.

“My thought is shut it all down. Force everyone to reapply with American citizenship. Crack down on what is available on these programs – take the junk food off – and you’ll see the number of people applying for these programs collapse. Force them to cook their own food,” Johnson told Finnerty.

Finnerty responded, “They forced people like sheep to get in line to take vaccines – and within two months – something like 67% of the country was vaccinated – hundreds of millions of people in a short amount of time. You have to do the same thing here,” adding, “You’re talking about 42 million people and you can federalize it – don’t leave it up to the states.”

My solutions to the EBT/SNAP abuse scandal are simple and clear:

– Shut it down
– Require everyone to reapply for benefits
– Restrict what can be purchased: ground beef, milk, eggs, fruits, vegetables. Basics only

The result? Applications would plummet, and people would have no… pic.twitter.com/i64dfy39p2

The Liberty Beacon Project is now expanding at a near exponential rate, and for this we are grateful and excited! But we must also be practical. For 7 years we have not asked for any donations, and have built this project with our own funds as we grew. We are now experiencing ever increasing growing pains due to the large number of websites and projects we represent. So we have just installed donation buttons on our websites and ask that you consider this when you visit them. Nothing is too small. We thank you for all your support and your considerations … (TLB)
