I am in strong support of this revision to snap policy. The current policy provides assistance to applicants that are in this country illegally because their income and shelter expenses are prorated to only the household members in their family that are us citizens. This counts less income overall to the assistance unit than a same size family with all us citizens and with the same exact amount of income. In most instances the family with illegal members recieves snap benefits, and the full us citizen family is denied as over income.
