The something that needs to be done is cut out their benefits and they will have to go to work in order to survive. If they don’t want to work at “slave labor” they can stay in school and study to better themselves just as other people do, instead of join gange, drop out, turn to crime, and the other nefarious ways so many choose to survive such as run drugs. What is the difference in picking a crop and working in a steel mill, mine, or any other “hands on” labor? Why should they be privileged because they don’t want to work particularly if their ancestors were slaves. We need to get off the bleeding heart crap and make everybody earn his keep.
Once upon a time our schools actually taught useful industrial education. That has almost completely disappeared. I have seen areas where there are large numbers of blacks and Latinos, but the Latinos are getting the jobs because they know how to do the work which they learned before they came here, but which our home grown blacks and whites, for that matter, no longer have the opportunity to learn in school.
