Senate panel votes to restore food stamps for immigrants
The Senate Agriculture Committee backed a measure to restore food stamps for thousands of immigrants as part of farm policy revisions but preserved farm subsidies. The plan would lift spending by 2.5 percent, about 620 million dollars yearly, aiding 60 000 post 1997 entrants and up to 100 000 eligible adults while streamlining applications and increasing some benefits.
