## Resource

A new immigration rule could make it harder to get a green card—if officials believe you rely too much on government aid like food stamps or Medicaid, your application might be denied. They’ll now scrutinize your whole life situation, including age, health, and education, not just income. The administration says this restores old values of self-sufficiency, arguing benefits shouldn’t be a reason to come to the U.S. But critics are alarmed: New York is suing to block it, and advocates warn people are already pulling back from vital programs out of fear. City leaders predict millions—including children—could lose health coverage, with potential spikes in premature deaths over five years. If you’re unsure, experts urge you to consult an immigration lawyer before making any decisions. Listen in comfort: Get a discount on a Soli Pillow: http://solipillow.com/discount/dnn.
