Barack Obama, seeking to swell the ranks of democrats and continuing his plot to expand dependency, is marketing the US as a place immigrants can come and enjoy the fruits of the toil of others!
Local lawmakers are fuming over an Obama administration policy promoting welfare and EBT benefits for immigrants, with a welcome package and promotional website that encourage new arrivals to take advantage of the nations generous government largesse.
I think its a complete outrage that were encouraging people coming here to get on public assistance, said state Rep. Shaunna OConnell, a Taunton Republican who has fought for EBT reform. We should be encouraging people to be self-sufficient. These programs are rampant with fraud and abuse.
The fight over welfare for recent immigrants is unfolding in Washington, where a group of GOP senators has sent a letter to U.S. Department of Agriculture Secretary Thomas Vilsack demanding answers as to why food stamps and other welfare benefits are being promoted to new immigrants. The agencys Welcome toUSA.gov website includes a comprehensive handbook directing immigrants on how to obtain food stamps, Medicare, disability and other taxpayer-funded aid.
The federal government now is giving packets to people when they come to the United States ... that promote welfare benefits, said U.S. Sen. Jeff Sessions, an Alabama Republican and ranking member of the Senate budget committee. That is contrary to law and sound policy.

So what does the agency have to say about it?
