It wasn’t just them, my father has 12 brothers and sisters all of which or successful and not a single one has ever been arrested or on welfare. My mother has 4 brothers and sisters, 2 very well off from investments and businesses and the others worked for large corporations and saved enough for retirement.
We own over 25 businesses with over 1500 employees, more than 1200 Mexican, and I don’t know of a single one who has ever been on welfare. It’s bullshit. You know who is on welfare? Entitled white trash who won’t clean a toilet for minimum wage because they feel it’s beneath them then blame hard working Mexican immigrants when they do it instead.
What’s made this country great is hungry people trying to make a better life for themselves, not self entitled lazy people looking to blame their problems on others.
This is an interesting topic and to be fair allow me to explain where I sit . I live in the West , Arizona to be exact but I have lived in New Mexico and Nevada as well . For me I see the Immigrant problem everyday and possibly we are talking about different classes of people and race also. From what I do understand is the Midwest and East Coast have still not gotten the full blown effect of what I see as a huge problem in this country .
That being said I am not against immigration . Obviously the United States was built on immigrants coming here and building this country to what it is today . I am against ILLEGAL immigration no matter how poor or bad the original situation was or is. I want a wall and we need a wall . If it was up to me all borders would be sealed tight and if you wanted to come here you would do so through the legal channels . This is not me against Mexicans because we all know there are a huge amount of diversity in the illegals who cross our border North and South everyday.
As far as the White people wont work for minimum wage argument I don't buy into it. Here are some statistics and if anybody is to blame for the welfare problem its the government itself. As far as I am concerned if it was up to me , Every single human on welfare and food stamps would have to submit to a drug test every two weeks to receive there next months benefits.
• The average welfare recipient receives $1,000 a month in benefits.
• 39 states pay more in welfare than an $8 per hour job.
• 6 states pay more in welfare than a $12 per hour job.
• 8 states pay more in welfare than the average salary of a US teacher.
