Kill SNAP for a Month, Watch Illegals’ Foreign Remittances Starve – Twitchy

Many illegals in America live in homes with lots of other adult illegals, earn cash and then send it back to their home countries. Twitchy Favorite, ‘Oilfield Rando‘ thinks a halt to SNAP just might see the money leaving America decreasing significantly. Suddenly, illegals will need to hold onto that money for food. 

I want SNAP to shut down for a month just to observe how much foreign remittances plummet in that month

Dominicans and other Caribbean immigrants literally use SNAP as remittances. They load up blue barrels with food they buy with EBT and ship it back to the islands so their relatives can sell them for cash https://t.co/5I4wVY9WoB pic.twitter.com/fGquQ6VLt0

Then, there are the ‘non-citizens’ who use SNAP to buy food, pack it up, and send it to less developed countries where friends and family sell it on the black market. 

Here’s how the hustle works:

-Illegal aliens come in, drop an anchor baby
-Whole family gets SNAP
-Rent assistance, Medicaid, you name it
-Parents work cash jobs
-Sell SNAP for cash
-Send money back home to build a retirement home https://t.co/qa9esDtZKC

This so much. Have Americans realize how many nonAmericans are on snaps and how little it actually helps and how it’s abused. https://t.co/oz54Hk3xhP

It’s becoming clearer every day. 

Let grocery stores panic. It’s not like the entirety of customers (paying with their own money) haven’t been price gouged into oblivion. Remember when stores stocked up on goods before a shortage, froze those goods, then put them back on the shelf moldy or about to mold? I do. https://t.co/plv4oUZjw7

Maybe the prices would go down. 

Not only that…but how much Starbucks will lose, how many iPhones won’t be sold, and other extravagant items sales decline. https://t.co/5UywevMJ7I

Brilliant point. Stop SNAP and see how much less money foreigners send to their home countries. That will be a good indicator of how much we are wasting. https://t.co/7z0nOMHJKF

Sounds like a good experiment to take on for the month. 

Remittance taxes should be 500% https://t.co/NdHKpm4kgi

THIS!!

Very interesting to see the results, even if working with less than 1 calendar month of data https://t.co/hDaZGsvxyT

Going to have to do 2 months to drain the “buffer” of EBT laundering and foreign remittances. https://t.co/z7UFoJjaxD

The results would be fascinating. 

And everyone is welcome to re-apply. At the ICE office. @amuse @BlueBoxDave https://t.co/USJEbjeCNl

That seems fair. 

Actually…I AM DOWN FOR THAT. Pull foriegn remittances. It might even reveal other Globalists cash flows by stopping another. It would be worth seeing.

This is probably the first rational take I’ve read out of all of this trash. https://t.co/F514iUEKUp

Expose it all to the sunlight. 

Editor’s Note: The Schumer Shutdown is here. Rather than put the American people first, Chuck Schumer and the radical Democrats forced a government shutdown for healthcare for illegals. They own this.
