But this policy is all about legal immigration. People who legally met the requirements to move and work here.

I did brain fart there, but I do have an answer. Illegal immigrants are less likely to meet these requirements, so can't be "rewarded" by cheating the system.

Why are they now more undeserving than a native-born citizen? It's a poor attempt to save costs, and it's by design to make significant cuts to social services as a whole, regardless of who is accessing them.

The right always try to reduce government involvement and expenditure, it's one of the main differences of left and right politics.

I don't follow that math, frankly. One household qualifying and signing up for SNAP doesn't prevent another qualifying household from doing the same.

It costs more to fund one than two, so the more people who qualify, the greater the tax burden. It could come out of the military, but Republicans are hypocrites this way.

They chip away at eligibility requirements, add asset tests and drug testing policies, and seek to limit overall access--all while adding more administrative costs and overhead to managing these new requirements.

Got to spend money to make money. Also it works neatly as sabotage. If they can say it helps very few people and costs inordinate amounts, they have good grounds to try to remove it entirely in a bipartisan push.
