I’ve always wondered...

my first job in high school was working for a roofer illegally, off-the-books

it was a common way to make a few bucks in poverty-ridden rural NC, besides running drugs between Wilmington and points north (which I never did)

anyway, my adult co-workers were drunks, speed freaks and borderline ‘tards—who’ve since been replaced with illegals.

question: what are those sorts of barely-functioning people doing now?

Generally living on the taxpayer dime in low income housing somewhere.

this is why just kicking the illegals out and replacing them with EBT people will not work.

Guess: 1/4 are in prison, 1/4 are pushing up daisies, 1/4 on SSDI or some other welfare-for-life program, for the last 1/4 the value of hard work sank in, and they set their lives on a better course, have done well enough for themselves.
