Unemployment among Hispanics is at an all time low, and far more so among Mexicans than Cubans or Puerto Ricans.
Most of the legal immigrants I know-no matter where they are from-are a self-sufficient, hard-working bunch of people who prefer to do things for themselves and don’t want any government in their personal lives-they also pay their taxes, homeschool their kids and don’t get welfare, but this is the middle of BFE where people can live off-grid if they choose to, so I can’t speak for people in cities, where dependency is encouraged...
I was taught from childhood that having a healthy strong immune system, knowing about/using natural remedies and avoiding all drugs except antibiotics when an injury was serious enough, doing physical work, not abusing my body with overindulgence in alcohol, and eating only fresh, unprocessed food would contribute to a healthy, active life, however many years it lasted-so far so good.
Most people out here where I live are doing what I do-working, running a business with no thought of quitting, ever, working out, being physically active and eating good fresh food that we produce-but that is easy to do out here in BFE-not so much in a city or burb-my compadre and employer says that knowing when you call 911 that the ambulance and EMTs are 30-45 minutes away keeps us working safe and healthy-and knowing the sheriff will take that long to arrive keeps us armed and ready to take care of ourselves.
Don’t know if it is relevant or not, but more than 1/2 of us are of Hispanic ancestry and have lived in the country most of our lives, but there are no mojados here-they are not tolerated-we don’t hire them or want them around...
I eat a very healthy diet...pure foods, no over processing, nothing added that doesn’t belong. The store I do best at, finding these foods at reasonable prices, is the local grocery store most favored by the nearby immigrant communities. The schools are doing recent immigrants a great disservice when the feed their children the trash that passes for food in school meals.
The last time any welfare workers came out here to offer government “help” to us poor, stupid rural deplorables was in 2003-they booked our community center bldg on a Saturday afternoon to give their sales pitch on everything “free” from free child care-even though most moms out here homeschool and work a home based business-to foodstamps/EBT cards and government cheese-even though everyone grows, sells and barters fresh veggies, eggs, dairy-and grass fed meat is sold at several butcher shops/locker plants-they insulted people by bringing a translator-everyone speaks English and most of us speak Spanish as a 2nd language-they only got about 10-12 people who left without signing up for anything, so they wasted their time. They never came back, either...
1.9 million illegals on Medicaid huh?
We have a local grocery store like that 16 miles away in the county seat-those of us who are into organic and natural food shop there, rather than driving 25 miles to the big chain grocery in the town of 6000 and pay more for “organic” or “grass fed” that probably isn’t-most of the veggies and all of the meat at the local store is produced in Texas. Also, the tourists who eat that way buy from the local store in the county seat-the food is less expensive and really is organic...
You are dead right about the school lunches-it is garbage-the few parents who still have kids in public school that I know pack their kids’ lunches so they don’t eat the frankenfood-one of my neighbors claims the pot bellied pigs she raises will not eat anything from the school cafeteria...
Well said and I agree 100%

Fixed it.
Yep, all the way through this tear jerker I noticed how they danced around the fact that the “uninsured” are illegally in this country & entitled to nothing other than a bus ride to the border.
We do not owe these people anything. Nothing. Nada.
It is ironic that the same people who gave us Obungo Care and [deliberately] impoverished the working middle class are so damn concerned about illegals. They really like to poke us in the eyes, don’t they?
Maybe 1.9 million anchor babies on CHIPS. But under 50,000 illegals nationwide on Medicaid.
Check out the number of so called refugees on Medicaid. They are in a separate category from legals and illegals within the Medicaid system.... different AID CATEGORIES specially set aside for refugees. So easy to get FOIA on them.
Have you ever visited an emergency room at a hospital? Around here, they're full of latinos, all sick or ill with various ailments. And most of them are non-payers receiving medical treatment. It's rare to see whites, asians or blacks in emergency waiting rooms. The others go to regular medical offices. The latinos flood the emergency rooms for the most minor ailments, because they know they'll be treated for free.
Shouldn’t the article refer to ILLEGAL ALIEN INVADERS rather than “immigrants “. Bad writing, poor editing, political agenda BS. FAKE NEws.
The term "illegal alien" has been banned by Pelosi and her liberal buddies. But we know exactly what they're referring to when they mention "immigrants". Liberals are butchering the English language, and it isn't poor editing but is political and fake. I hate what they're doing. These people invading our country are not immigrants, they're illegal alien invaders, as you put it. I wish they could be caught and executed. Harsh? Not when you consider how evil the liberals are becoming. They are out to destroy good social norms, and will not hesitate to kill us in the near future.
I’ve been in 4 hospitals recently with my own health issues. The only Hispanics I saw was a Doctor and an attendant.
I’ve lived with them all of my adult life. I’ve rented apartments to hundreds of them and lived with them in my apartments. In knocking door to door and in my job as an insurance inspector/invesitgator I’ve known thouands of them casually.
My person experience is consistent with all the statistics.
You must live in Alaska. I live in South San Francisco, and have had to go to many hospitals in San Francisco and the peninsula. Hispanics are everywhere in the emergency waiting rooms. A couple years ago I waited three hours to get treated for an animal bite, at Seton Medical Hospital emergency room in Daly City. Three hours. Because it was full of mostly hispanics getting treated. Last year me and my family waited an hour for my granddaughter to get treated for a head wound at Kaiser Hospital's emergency room in SSF, 9 stitches. Again, the emergency room waiting room was jammed with hispanics. Similar experiences in SF. I think maybe you are being untruthful, or live in an all-white area. Around here, there are lots of illegals.
