“’Welcome to USA.gov,’ a website maintained by the Department of Homeland Security’s U.S. Citizenship and Immigration Services (USCIS), bills itself as the ‘primary gateway for new immigrants to find basic information on how to settle in the United States’ — featuring a prominent section for new immigrants about how to access government benefits. ’Depending on your immigration status, length of time in the United States, and income, you may be eligible for some federal benefit programs,’ the Web page reads. … The DHS page offers links to government websites that explain how to access benefits including food stamps, Supplemental Security Income (SSI), Medicaid, Medicare, Temporary Assistance for Needy Families (TANF) and the ‘official website with information on all available federal benefit programs.’ … WelcometoUSA.gov also boasts to immigrants that ‘[f]ree public education for children is one reason many immigrants come to the United States.’”
