“USDA and the government of Mexico have entered into a partnership to help
educate eligible Mexican nationals living in the United States about available
nutrition assistance,” the USDA explains in a brief paragraph on their “Reaching
Low-Income Hispanics With Nutrition Assistance” web page. “Mexico will help

serious questions about American immigration policy as well as fiscal policy,”
Session said. “Let’s get back to the fundamentals. What happened with the ‘96
welfare reform was to say that if want to you come to America you come legally,

otherwise be independent. There is no logic behind an immigration policy that
would encourage immigrants who can’t successfully operate within this society.”
