" including twelve years of free schooling. "
Add headstart and college too. Around here, they all seem
to perfer the trailer house over an apartment, think is has
to do with residency or ownership.
We also have swell welfare benefits the first day,
word travels fast, but as they soon find out the cold isn't
as appealing as the benefits.
I do like the folks, friendly,
good mechanics,
a shame they feel Mexico isn't good enoungh for them.
I dunno where "around here" is, but I can tell you that 1 mile from the beach in California, the illegals don't have to hang out in trailer parks. They are subsidized in rather nice surroundings:
This is, as advertised, 1 mile from the beach (New Brighton), and across the street from houses that sell for about $1 million. Typically, the County will not approve development permits unless low income housing is included nearby or in the development.
Oh, and, the county Supervisors are ecstatic about their latest plan to develop a park across the street so that Los Ninos de Anchor can have a nice taxpayer subsidized area to conduct the usual gang businesses. The local paper even quoted a grandfather described as a "long time resident" as saying that his 5 grandchildren who also live in the project will love the new park. Oh, and they did mention that he said that in Spanish, because he can't speak English.
But he apparently was able to fill out the free housing forms. They're in Spanish, naturally.
I kid you not.
