I was shocked. also. that the usually bipartisan farm bill ended up being shoved over into a partisan Issue. that was so extremely unusual. with a $4 billion partisan gimmick at the expense of many taxpayers. I didnt realize until we actually took this farm bill up since Ive been in Congress. apparently it comes up every 5 years and it had not come up since Id been here. but brought the bill up. and I didnt realize 66. 67 percent of the farm bill had nothing to do with agriculture. that it had to do with entitlements. and that those were running away. Some of us began to raise the issue. wait a minute. this is going to be providing food stamps to illegal aliens. and yet we were told. well. it doesnt actually do that. It doesnt provide food stamps to illegal aliens. And that sounded good. except when you dont require documentation to prove legal status. then there is no way to determine whether someone is legally getting food stamps or not getting legal food stamps. So that seemed to fall on deaf ears as well.
