Wait until SNAP stops being distributed. SNAP benefits provide a huge stimulus to the economy, and that’s just going to disappear.

A mother of 8 was deported within 24 hours of reporting sexual harassment by an ICE contracto

She was following the rules & going through the process to get her green card

Someone working on behalf of ICE abused her.

She spoke out and was kicked out of the country.

It’s retaliation & it’s wrong

On the bright side, at least our satirists aren’t using newspeak yet. I suspect the @wsj.com opinion editors have been practicing for some time now.

Rep. Rosa DeLauro: "On the food stamp issue, the money is there! Let them not get away with saying they can't do it. Their political will isn't there to feed the people who rely on the SNAP program which is the most effective anti-hunger program in the USA."

I am sorry that you had to endure that. I will say what she couldn’t due to her illness: Thank you for taking care of her. Thank you for doing what was best for her and others. Thank you for doing the right thing even when it was so hard on you. You’re a good person.
