It was my understanding that we are to treat all applicants with fair and equal treatment and not to discriminate against any because of race, religion, or ethnic background. However, when we prorate income for illegal aliens we are discriminating against American Citizens who have their income counted even though they may not be part of the assistance unit. The policy needs to be changed in order for us to provide fair and equal treatment to all applicants across the board. If we are prorating for one we should be prorating for all or not allowing proration for anyone.
