Virginia Rep. Ben Cline discusses House Republicans' tour of the border in Yuma, Arizona and explains how the immigration crisis has impacted the country.House Republicans are working to close what they say is a loophole in the federal food assistance program that is costing American taxpayers nearly $7 billion per year.
"I'm sure some people do it unintentionally, but others do it intentionally. And nobody, whether you're intentional or not, no one who doesn't meet the eligibility requirements should be able to receive the benefits."Rep. Ben Cline, R-Va., introduced the No Welfare for the Wealthy Act on Thursday Because receiving that information qualifies as getting a"benefit," it allows those"beneficiaries" to bypass federal guidelines on assets and be enrolled in the food stamp program, Cline explained.
