This policy definately needs to be updated. It seems so unfair to count all of the income of a US citizen but not count all of the income of someone who is not here legally. The income is still available to the household for the purchase of food why should their citizenship play a role in how much income is counted, because there are a good number of cases that would be ineligible for benefits if all of the aliens income was counted.
