A majority of both illegal and legal Latino immigrants are on welfare of some sort—why should they bother to beg in the street?
And I have encountered beggars in Latin America.
“A majority of both illegal and legal Latino immigrants are on welfare of some sort...”

I’m very suspicious of this assertion. I’ve worked in restaurants, industry, and construction with lots of Hispanics and they were damned hard workers. Obviously they had jobs, but if ever there was an opening on the job site, they would scorch the supervisor to give the job to someone they knew who was ready to work. There may be many on some sort of assistance, but I’d be surprised if it was a majority.
