More than 350,000 refugees in the United States are on food stamps, according the Congressional Research Service (CRS).

In a memo to the Senate Judiciary Committee released Thursday but dated April 14, CRS offers data on Supplemental Nutrition Assistance Program (SNAP) — or food stamps — and Supplemental Security Income (SSI) use among refugees. It also provided refugee benefit usage statistics for medical assistance, cash assistance and public housing.

In Fiscal Year 2013, there were about 353,000 refugees on SNAP. As of December 2014, 55,000 refugees, asylees, and other similar populations receiving payments from SSI, the memo reveals.

Who qualifies a person as a *refugee*, these days. Just about anyone who wants to come in?

Couple these refugee numbers with illegal alien numbers....did you ever imagine you/your country would be providing so much FreeStuff™ for so many?

And it’s money stolen from AMERICANS that the bottom feeding ‘RAT politicians are giving to the thieving illegal Xenoinvaders.

Any person in any country who says “those kind of people” don’t like my kind.

Also how do they get proof that they are “Refugee”? They halted my food stamps because they want more proof in paying my bills. I do not see anything wrong asking me but do they ask the same from them like the Illegals or Refugee?

Women claiming violence from a partner now are considered “refugees.” We are financing the demise of our country by handing out freebies to anyone who shows up.

Those handouts to refugees pale in comparison to seniors immigrating sponsored by mostly naturalized citizens. They all begin collecting “SSI” (supplemental social security) checks although have never worked in US or contributed a dime in SS taxes. There are millions of these folks. Of course they also get medicaid and a slew of other usual welfare benefits. It does not matter how rich their sponsoring kids are.

Well, looky here....

Full title: The White House And Soros-Backed Open Borders Group Strategize About Bribing Immigrants To Naturalize Before 2016

Last week, the White House Task Force on New Americans held a briefing at the Soros-funded, pro-open borders Migration Policy Institute to push its new “Strategic Action Plan on Immigrant & Refugee Integration.”

The Task Force, which seeks to ramp up naturalization rates among non-citizens, grew out of one of the dozen bombshell memos dropped on the American public after the midterms last year.

Boy, must my copy of the Const. be outdated, I can find NO reference, Amendment nor clause that authorizes Fedzilla to give taxpayer $$ to anyone, let alone ‘refugees’.

Hell, I do read the 5th, 9th, 10th and 13th specifically DENY such...

I’ll have to order another copy soon.

Gee, and all this time I thought they were here to do the jobs Americans won’t do.

Who would’ve thunk.
