Trust me, y'all have accents! ;)

And Derek got like 4 welcome letters too. At first I was excited thinking his green card had come really early. By the 4th one, I was like typical $%&* government wasting the taxpayer's $$$.

Anyway, congrats Colin!

Well as a rough guesstimate - based on the info I could find "In 2006, 1,266,264 people were granted legal permanent resident status" and based on .41 cents for a letter to be sent - the postage alone for 1 additional welcome for each is about 1/2 a million.

Well, they probably get a bulk mail government rate, but still. Yikes!
