俄克拉荷马州法案将检查SNAP/TANF申请者的移民地位, Oklahoma bill would check immigration status of SNAP/TANF applicants, risking U.S.-born children’s access.

俄克拉荷马州众议院法案4422, 由众议院委员会7-1通过, 要求国家使用联邦数据, 将无证人士转介至ICE, 核实SNAP和TANF申请者的移民身份。 Oklahoma’s House Bill 4422, passed 7-1 by a House committee, would require the state to verify immigration status of SNAP and TANF applicants using federal data, referring undocumented individuals to ICE. 该法案由议长Kyle Hilbert提出,旨在确保只有合法存在的个人才能获得福利,即使只为儿童申请。 The bill, introduced by Speaker Kyle Hilbert, aims to ensure only legally present individuals receive benefits, even in child-only applications. 虽然目前没有资格申请SNAP, 无证件的个人已经被禁止享受福利,但批评者警告这一措施可能会阻止符合条件的美国出生儿童因恐惧而申请。 While currently ineligible for SNAP, undocumented individuals are already barred from benefits, but critics warn the measure could deter eligible U.S.-born children from applying due to fear. 该法案现提交众议院健康与公众服务监督委员会。 The bill now advances to the House Health and Human Services Oversight Committee.
