I feel the income should be counted the same way for all households. There are cases when a family of 4 with 2 parents working but both parents are illegal, but are eligible for benefits because the income is prorated. Then you have a family of 4 with 2 parents working, income is the same, all the family is legal and are over income for SNAP benefits. This is definitely unfair, it's almost as if the illegal aliens are getting preferred treatment.
