I'm gonna call BS on that. Where's your evidence that that is the case?
SNAP benefits in California (food stamps) are issued to LEGAL immigrants only, and only those who meet certain requirements.
From the California Department of Social Services website:
Quote:
Certain non-citizens such as those admitted for humanitarian reasons and those admitted for permanent residence are eligible for food stamps. Eligible household members can get food stamp benefits even if other members of the household are not eligible. Food stamp eligibility is available to most legal immigrants who:
Have lived in the country for five (5) years, or
Are receiving disability-related assistance or benefits, regardless of entry date, or
Are children under 18 years of age regardless of entry date.

Eligibility and Issuance Requirements
Legal immigrants do pay taxes, and therefore have a right to social services, just as any other person in the United States does.
Almost all social services across the United States require extensive documentation to be presented in order to gain services.
