Food Stamp Myths

#SNAP #Lemon8 #Lemon8Diary

Undocumented immigrants can’t get food stamps. SNAP is for U.S. citizens and legal residents who meet strict income and ID requirements. The ones losing benefits right now are American kids, seniors, and working families who already qualify under the law.

Yes, undocumented workers pay taxes. A lot of them.

📌 Many file federal returns using an ITIN.

📌 They pay income, Medicare & Social Security taxes — even though they’re not eligible for those benefits.

📌 In 2022 alone, undocumented immigrants contributed $96.7 billion in federal, state & local taxes.

📌 Between 50–75% pay into a system they can’t fully access.

They pay into the pot — but don’t get a slice.
