title: FEAR MONGERING MEDIA: Illegals Cancel Food Stamps…Fear Arrest
text: The fear mongering Washington Post gives you a bleeding heart story that should outrage you BECAUSE NOT ONE ILLEGAL WAS INTERVIEWED FOR THIS STORY! THEY EVEN CHANGED THE TITLE TO BE EVEN MORE ALARMING: THIS IS THE FIRST TITLE:  HERE S THE SECOND SCARIER TITLE: THE WASHINGTON POST EVEN ADMITS THEY HAVE NO FIRST HAND INTERVIEWS WITH ILLEGALS WHO ARE AFRAID:The evidence is still anecdotal   and The Washington Post was unable to speak directly with immigrants who chose to cancel their SNAP benefits.Luisa Fortin sometimes sits up at night, wondering what her clients are eating.
