Hmm, ass-backwards bureaucracy to address the willfully ignorant prejudices of the maga mooks and alt-right reich mooks.
First off, Rollins is a die-in-the-wool hard right, legal pedigreed Texan republican and Trump appointee. Her current position has already displayed her willingness to twist facts to fit the MAGA propaganda. Note:
Undocumented immigrants remain ineligible for federal Supplemental Nutrition Assistance Program (SNAP) benefits in 2025, but specific immigrant categories and documented noncitizens retain eligibility, and states can offer separate, state‑funded assistance. Recent legislative proposals and administrative guidance have narrowed or clarified eligibility for some documented immigrant groups, producing local impacts and policy debates.
- Claim: Democrats are "putting free health care for illegal aliens... ahead of food security for American families".
- Fact Check: PolitiFact rated this claim as inaccurate. The 2025 government shutdown stemmed from a disagreement over extending Affordable Care Act (ACA) subsidies as part of continued federal funding. The statement falsely framed the debate as "free health care for illegal aliens" and incorrectly assigned blame for the SNAP funding lapse, which was a result of the overall funding disagreement, not a specific Democratic agenda item to prioritize non-citizens over SNAP recipients.
And remember the BS the Trump administration tried to sell when they were using kids getting food as leverage along with the gov't shutdown?
- Claim: The USDA cannot use an existing contingency fund to continue SNAP benefits during the government shutdown.
- Fact Check: This claim was disputed by various sources, including legal experts and advocacy groups. While Secretary Rollins stated there weren't "just pots of $9.2 billion sitting around" and claimed a lack of legal authority to transfer funds, past administrations had used such funds during previous shutdowns. States' attorneys general even filed lawsuits to access the contingency fund, arguing it was available for regular SNAP benefits.
