Apparently, members of the Iowa GOP haven't read their Bible lately

 

Headline:  Des Moines Register, 3/11/2026

Stephen Gruber-Miller reports:

Undocumented immigrants and some immigrants with legal status would be excluded from a nutrition program for low-income women, young children and babies, under a bill passed by the Iowa House. 

The wide-ranging public assistance bill, House File 2716, limits eligibility for the federal Women, Infants and Children (WIC) program to U.S. citizens and "qualified aliens" as defined in federal law. 

That would exclude undocumented immigrants, as well as holders of temporary protected status and Deferred Action for Childhood Arrivals (DACA). Currently, WIC is available to Iowa women and babies based on income, regardless of their legal status.
