I believe that there is an opportunity here to break the cycle of poverty and dependence for some of these people, though it may well be passed up. Getting them out of their old neighborhoods, in small groups, away from their old patterns of life, and showing them how to succeed might make new lives for them. The key is to break the mentality of failure. You have to expect them to do better, and put pressure on them to do so. Will it be done? That's the question.
