Abstract

The article discusses immigrants and noncitizens in the U.S. and their access to food from private charities as of September 2012, including an assessment of the nation's Supplemental Nutrition Assistance Program (SNAP) and its exclusion of benefits for non-U.S. citizens. It states that several private charities have expressed fears about being held criminally liable if they fail to verify the immigration status of the people they serve.
