I have worked with that population in the past. Many have no clue as to what the world of work is all about. They are 3rd generation on welfare.
There is a reason you don't see many companies going into the cities. It is the work(?)force. Illegals usually want to work and will work hard. Many of these folks won't. It is that simple. They are used to hand-out programs and getting paid to reproduce. It isn't pretty, but it is so true.
I am in favor of long term supports ONLY for the elderly and disabled. The rest of us have to slug it out to work for a living. (The exception, as always, the independently wealthy....guess what, life is not fair!)
So much for the 'great society' and urban social planning. Time for some tough love.
Many would speculate that welfare came about as a means (invented by the (Democrats) to continue to keep blacks oppressed following the civil rights movements.
At 15 years per generation, it's more like 5 generations on welfare.
