I’m so glad I get to wake up early every morning and go to work so my tax dollars can be used to tell new immigrants how to sign up for welfare benefits in their native languages. 14 of them, to be exact. Good grief. The Obama administration has released an updated welcome guide for new immigrants in the U.S. featuring detailed sections about obtaining public benefits including food stamps, welfare, and Obamacare.
“You or members of your family may be eligible for other federal benefits, depending on your immigration status, length of time in the United States, and income level,” the guidebook reads.
Titled the “Welcome to the United States: A Guide for New Immigrants” the publication is available in 14 languages: Arabic, English, French, Haitian Creole, Korean, Portuguese,Russian, Somali, Spanish, Tagalog, Urdu, Vietnamese, and twovarieties of Chinese.

The guide offers detailed information on the expectations and rights of a permanent resident, tips on settling in the U.S., employment advice, and available public benefits. It also highlights reasons to become a citizen.
Read the whole thing, unless you’re in a good mood. In that case, wait until you’re in a bad mood or you’ll just ruin your day.
