‘Real News From The Blaze’: US Partners With Mexico on Food Stamp Outreach

The Daily Caller reported Thursday that the United States has been working with the Mexican government since 2004 to boost food stamp participation among Mexican-Americans, Mexican nationals and migrant communities in America. The DC reports that the United States Department of Agriculture provides to the Mexican government materials that include English and Spanish brochures titled “Five Easy Steps To Snap Benefits,” “How To Get Food Help — A Consumer’s Guide to FNCS Programs,” “Ending Hunger Improving Nutrition Combating Obesity,” and posters with slogans like “Food Stamps Make America Stronger,” to use at the Mexican Embassy and Mexican consulates in America for educating and promoting use of program in the United States.
The partnership — which was signed by former USDA Secretary Ann M. Veneman and Mexican Secretary of Foreign Affairs Luis Ernesto Derbez Bautista in 2004 — sees to it that the Mexican Embassy and Mexican consulates in America provide USDA nutrition assistance program information to Mexican Americans, Mexican nationals working in America and migrant communities in America. The information is specifically focused on eligibility criteria and access.
The goal, for USDA, is to get rid of what they see as enrollment obstacles and increase access among potentially eligible populations by working with arms of the Mexican government in America. Benefits are not guaranteed or provided under the program — the purpose is outreach and education.
While there is no indication that food stamps are being promoted in connection to illegal-immigration, the partnership raises serious questions about the type of environment and lifestyle that the U.S. is encouraging for recent immigrants. On “Real News” Thursday, the panel discussed whether the policy promotes a cycle of dependency for newcomers rather than providing a temporary service to those in need.

Posted on July 22, 2012 at 6:08pmI despise what obama has been doing to our country, however this program started in 2004 under Bush. This should tell everyone that we can’t trust anyone in the government to do what is right for our country.
We need to concentrate on voting out almost everyone in Congress and changing Administrations. Get people in office who will truly put America and Americans First. People who will truly defend the Constitution and everything that it stands for.

Posted on July 20, 2012 at 1:39amWhen the producers have been driven out or destroyed… When the educated have been culled… When the opposition has been retrained, the housing our government will offer all but the 1% they deem to be the enlighened will make chicago’s projects seem like the Ritz.
Government has a regulatory and emergency up port role… Putting government in charge yields $500 hammers to be used on screws and $200 toilet seats for a building with only urinals

Posted on July 19, 2012 at 10:39pmCloward & Piven 101… Get everyone possible on government programs to overwhelm the system and cause its collapse. Then a new socialist government can be started up in its place to provide for all the people, like good socialist governments do.

Posted on July 19, 2012 at 11:50pmThat’s exactly what this is; overload the system so it collapses. Socialists always say that the ends justifies the means, and they’re not kidding. Anyone who still thinks Obama isn’t a socialist needs to watch this short video. http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=-39KDRACJyE

Posted on July 19, 2012 at 9:03pmThis is just truly despicable. We are at a time where people feel no shame in living off their neighbors who are in debt trying to raise their own families. Human beings who live off their neighbors who are already broke and poor and demand that those neighbors continue to carry them is as low as you can go on the evolutionary scale of our species.
This will continue to increase as humanity moves closer to the gutter as the perverted, the immoral, and indecent in our society grows more bold and this regime embraces them. It is no wonder why many now feel that we are reaching a point to which a world war and chaos is coming sooner than later.
The only way we get out of this is a total world war and this time it will not be troops on the ground, it will not be massive hand to hand fighting, or shooting. It will be a chemical, biological and nuclear war and it will not be thousands that will die, not millions but billions and it needs to happen so our species can get back to living, based upon our male and female design.
I very much now look forward to that day because that is now the only way to end this madness and insanity of what we are all seeing within our species or homosexuality, transgenders, transsexuals.,,,etc,, all of which are mentally disturbed and being celebrated and encouraged by this regime.

Posted on July 19, 2012 at 8:56pmObama is making sure he has PLENTY of voter dependent on the feds. If he does that he gets votes. Think about it. What has he down in just the last eight months to increase the number of people in the US on the welfare roles? A LOT. LESS JOBS means more Free phones, free computers, free internet access, free food stamps, free health insurance, free education, and they ADVERTISE these at our expense, as well. Soon there will not be enough people working to PAY for all this FREE stuff, but no matter, Obama got his voters. Pray he does NOT win again…

Posted on July 19, 2012 at 9:13pmThey are doing far more than that.. The progressive concept is to bankrupt the system and force us to their system where government rules over you and decides for you. This is one of the reasons soo many drones are being prepared. They are in fear and want to ensure their own safety and control over us. You have barely seen the beginning of it.
