Thread: USDA uses Spanish soap operas to push food stamps among non-citizens

No deportations, amnesty, and now pushing MORE government fraud....

The government has been targeting Spanish speakers with radio “novelas” promoting food stamp usage as part of a stated mission to increase participation in the Supplemental Nutrition Assistance Program (SNAP), or food stamps.
Each novela, comprising a 10-part series called “PARQUE ALEGRIA,” or “HOPE PARK,” presents a semi-dramatic scenario involving characters convincing others to get on food stamps, or explaining how much healthier it is to be on food stamps.
The majority of the episodes end with the announcer encouraging the listener to tune in again to see if the skeptic applies for benefits or learns to understand the importance of food stamps to their health.
“Will Claudia convince Ramon to apply for SNAP?” the announcer exclaims at the end of a standard episode titled “The Poet,” “Don’t miss our next episode of ‘HOPE PARK.’”

Food stamps should not be advertised period. People should not be encouraged to get on food stamps. Especially not illegal aliens and unassimilated immigrants watching Spanish television on American soil.

This is just another way Obama is trying to redistribute the wealth and buy more voters with our tax money!

The radio ads were produced in 2008,

The USDA notes that illegal immigrants cannot apply, however.

"Non-citizens who are unlawfully present, are not, nor have they ever been, eligible to receive Supplemental Nutrition Assistance Program (SNAP) benefits," the USDA said in a statement. "States must verify the immigration status of individuals who apply for benefits.

Individuals applying for SNAP are required to provide documentation of their immigration status as a condition of eligibility."
