The crappy thing about welfare is that it is not a helping hand, rather it is a enabler for those that refuse to work. Welfare should only exist for emergency situations. But in reality it is much more difficult for someone working, but still not making ends meet, to get on welfare than someone that is not working at all.
My mother lost her job when I was about 5-6 years old and she quickly got another job, but making much less money. She applied for welfare, but was basically told that she earned "too much" to be able to get assistance, and that she would be better off leaving her job and staying home full time. Instead she stormed out, and got yet another job, working two jobs instead of one, for several months there my brother and I barely saw her, we were in my 90+ year old Grandmothers care.
So my point there is this, welfare doesn't really help people that need a hand, but rather those that want the whole handout. And that my friends is the real problem here. Not some poor Mexican labourers coming up and working 18 hour days to send their money back to Mexico to support their families, but the lazy posteriors here not working, and procreating like rabbits, because the Government dole lets them, and encourages them.
I do not care for anyone coming here, and expecting me to speak their language(even though I have spoken Spanish since I was very young) and waving their flag around. But I believe they are not the real issue here, it is lazy American society that is. And frankly, in these days of terrorism, and Iranian type guys, how the hell is it possible that they can get across the Rio Grande anyway, for Crikes sake, most likely they are here to work for 18 hour days, but who knows whether they are doing that or are here to fly airliners into Sears Tower this time?
