Most people feel better about themselves when they actually EARN what they get.

Remember when you could earn extra money by mowing your neighbor's lawn, or working after school in a convenience store? Not anymore. That was an important way for teenage kids to learn the value of working and saving for a car, education, etc.

There are plenty of legal residents/citizens to fill those jobs.

An excellent point! There are college kids who can't find these types of jobs during the summers now thanks to the illegals.

The result? Some of them wind up even further in debt.
