It also provides much needed funds for Hispanicserving institutions as well. Finally. I want to express my heartfelt appreciation and profound support for the restoration of food stamp benefits for legal immigrants. The food stamp restoration program has caused a lot of discussion. but this conference report. I think. targets this to the most vulnerable of our legal immigrants. the elderly. the disabled. children. refugees. those who often come to this country with very little. those who have come to our country who were veterans. who fought alongside other veterans in the U.S. military forces in Vietnam. They were eligible for food stamps prior to the Welfare Reform Act of 1996. When we changed the rule. we really denied these persons who needed these benefits.
