When Newsmax host Rob Finnerty spoke out this week, he said what no one in the mainstream media dares to admit – the truth about the food stamp program (SNAP) and how it’s being drained by non-Americans at the expense of hardworking taxpayers.
Newsmax host @RobFinnertyUSA just said what no one in mainstream media will admit about SNAP.
He tore the mask off the entire food stamps program…and what he revealed will infuriate taxpayers.
It’s far worse than anyone realized.

For decades, SNAP was supposed to be a safety net for struggling American families, a temporary hand-up, not a permanent handout.
But under the Biden administration’s open-border policies, that system became a magnet for abuse and a burden on our economy.
Finnerty didn’t hold back:
“There are 42 million people in this country that need food stamps on a weekly basis,” he said. “And we’re saying ‘people’ deliberately instead of Americans because most of the people that are on food stamps aren’t even from this country.”
Let that sink in. Forty-two million “people” – and a growing share weren’t even citizens.
The Numbers That Should Shock Every Taxpayer
Finnerty laid out the facts that Washington politicians would rather you never hear:
- 45% of Afghan immigrants are on food stamps.
- 42% of Somali immigrants receive SNAP benefits.
- 34% of immigrants from Iraq are enrolled.
- 23% of Haitians rely on U.S. taxpayers for food assistance.
- And most stunning of all – 59% of all illegal aliens are collecting food stamps.
That means the majority of people receiving government food assistance are not even American citizens.
The Consequences of Open Borders
This revelation hits right at the heart of what many conservatives have been warning about for years — that open borders and endless government giveaways are unsustainable and unfair.
While millions of American families struggle to put food on the table, the Biden administration’s policies allowed non-citizens to come first and citizens to come last.
“We didn’t know about any of this before the government shutdown started,” Finnerty noted. “But thanks to Democrats, we can confirm that millions of illegal aliens — people who crossed the border when Joe Biden was president — are now collecting food stamps from a program funded by hardworking American taxpayers.”
It’s not just about numbers; it’s about priorities.
The American dream was built on hard work and self-reliance – not dependency on an overinflated welfare system that rewarded lawbreaking.
Time to Put Americans First
The previous administration’s policies blurred the line between compassion and chaos.
Every dollar spent funding illegal immigration was a dollar taken from veterans, single parents, and seniors who played by the rules.
It’s time for leaders in Washington to face reality: America cannot afford to be the world’s welfare system.
As Finnerty said – think about that.
