Well, there are exemptions to the English proficiency requirement to become a US Citizen, however, you're forgetting legal migration, which has no such proficiency requirement at all.  And yes, legal migrants can get EBT cards.  Here's the problem with the claim, I live in small town no-where's-ville, Vermont, and I know that a farm not 20 miles from me, brings in a very specific group of migrants to plant and harvest a very specific type of vegetable not indigenous to Vermont.  They do it every year, and I know most of them speak little to no English.

Just because one person doesn't speak much English, means exactly jack squat with regards to what conclusions about legal migration you can draw.


Ya I will admit my own familys histroy with immigration visas has clouded my judgement and what kinds of visas their are for workers.  Seems like the people in the video (and the workers in your town coincidentally) all came to america and are staying here through an H2A program.  Which is rather different from the visas I'm use to dealing with.

 

EDIT. whoops looks like you already found out through my last comment well isnt this just awkward

Yeah, it's not a huge deal :)  Glad we sorted it out.
