These days stupidity is rewarded.
I have a different version.
Maria crosses the river on a dark night and immediately heads to a clinic where she receives a free medical where they confirm she is pregnant. For seven months she receives medical care and WICK and food stamps to survive while she works as a maid for cash. She delivers a little boy, Jose, who qualifies for WICK, Food stamps, welfare and housing..and a cell phone. Jose goes to paid day care, Head start and gets free breakfast and lunch..by 13 Jose is in Juve hall for six months after heisting a car. He gets out and has a parole officer. At 18 he is in a gang and pops a rival and heads up the river..meanwhile Maria has popped out three more and Jose’s girlfriend is pregnant.
This is a compression of some immigrants who have touched our lives..and there is more.
