Do you have any cites? Because this looks like you made it up on the spot - are you intuiting the SNAP folks? - one with the SNAP folks? (Cue sitar) Undocumented aliens don't get healthcare except for that offered by the states, and I'm sure we have some for when they are in our custody. The bulk of what we reimburse federally goes to undocumented women giving birth, and I'm going to overrule your intuition there and say we do not want a woman giving birth to a child turned away, no matter how much you want them to be turned away.

So here you've butchered several facts and then used the fact butchery to launch into a strawman. That's impressive!

The facts you butchered:
1. Illegal healthcare is funded by the government via Medicare reimbursements. Perhaps you should familiarize yourself with that.
2. Yes, SNAP people would like to receive their benefits again. Why wouldn't they? Do they not call their representatives?

The strawman you launched
do you personally want SNAP eliminated

You phrased it as a question but you lack the linguistic sophistication to really phrase this in a way that isn't clumsy or hamfisted. Try again, and make sure to include some more "sloganeering" that you and the other L-dude are fond of.
