Prorating Illegal Alien Income for SNAP
 

I support revising the SNAP policy so the income of illegal aliens is no longer prorated. The policy should be the same for all households with no regard for household composition. The policy makes it more likely for households with illegal alien parents to be eligble for benefits and households with only citizens or legal residents are not extended the same opportunity.
