I swear, since when did the US ever promote socialism in that it is OK to redistribute other peoples money and now to another country?
I'm so damned mad I can't even formulate a sentence.
The ass hole is now giving food stamps to illegals with the help of the Mexican Govt.

The Mexican government has been working with the United States Department of Agriculture to increase participation in the Supplemental Nutrition Assistance Program (SNAP), or food stamps.

USDA has an agreement with Mexico to promote American food assistance programs, including food stamps, among Mexican Americans, Mexican nationals and migrant communities in America.

"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 disseminate this information through its embassy and network of approximately 50 consular offices."

I've heard that they've stopped this, but I can't find anything from the USDA that verifies it.

I'm not going to get too upset about it........................I truly believe that Obama's campaign of Marxist socialism, class envy, and government dependency, is working against him. He's showing his true colors, as an enemy of America and everything this country stands for.

He can't use a teleprompter and read the words of others, while he's working the crowds......................and it shows.

Why in the hell are we partnering with a foreign government to get people on a US government program? If they're illegals, they shouldn't be on the program. If they're Mexican citizens who are here legally, then the question of their ongoing loyalty to a foreign government arises. If someone immigrated from country "A" to country "B", in order to become a citizen of country "B"; what further interest is that person to country "A"?

From what I've heard, it's a partnership between the USDA and the Mexican nationals that live in Washington and work at the Mexican embassy.

We can say that we don't want to become a socialist country, but in far too many ways, we're already there.

If the people from the picture in the USDA link are America's poor, I must really be sucking shit. They've got a hell of a lot nicer kitchen than I do.

Do you seriously think they are telling the truth?
That sounds like talking point cover for the leftist media.
Since when do we subsidize Mexican Nationals?
Then there is the little issue of the name.

I meant the Mexican government involvement, is through the people that work at the Mexican embassy. Don't misunderstand. I think it's complete bullshit, but I don't think the ads are running in Mexico. Just in the US.

I think we should get rid of EBT and go back to government cheese.

When I was a kid...  That government cheese made for some damn fine grilled cheese sandwiches.

I grew up on the poor side of the tracks.

But thanks to hard work, sacrifices and the will to do better....

I am on the other side of the tracks.

What makes me want to pull the few hairs left in my head is that Obama can just about Rape and Murder a Nun and the Media will pass it by. Only Fox and the AM Radio Stations tell the tale. If this isn't as bad as the take over of Germany in 1933, nothing is!

I went to the other side of the tracks once. Same dirt. Not much else. Returned to my family forthwith.   

We've been giving billions in aide (read; international welfare) to Africa and the Middle east, pretty much the same thing. This is rather overt though.

If Romney, the guy who's also ok with payment to others outside the US, wins, and He still does as other politicians have, will You then realize that We're without representation, Solar? Or is it going to take You another decade or so to catch up with reality?

As bad as the money part of it is, I believe the plan is far more insidious. Obama wants to create a permanent, (and huge), dependent class. He knows that with enough of them, he can win reelection. He has taken off his mask, and is running on a purely socialist platform. The really scary part, is that crowds of people are cheering him on.

The recent immigrants from Cuba come here with knowledge on how to game the system. Many of them arrive here and get on disability as soon as they land. And that's without cooperation between the governments.

I can only imagine what this joint venture will accomplish.

I take it you take issue with Capitalism and International trade?
But you'd still rather keep an anti-capitalist in office that's giving our treasure to those that never worked for it, in the form of a debit card?
