Amen! That would destroy the cornerstone of why they come.

Disagree, most come for social programs.

And I disagree with that. Social programs play a factor, but not the driving ones.

Maybe that depends on where someone lives which they see more of. Here it's the social programs and other free things they're coming for but unemployment here is very high. I think California obviously attracts those looking for social programs. I guess you could count those you see collecting SSI, food stamps, WIC, free school lunch, Medicaid etc and compare with the numbers actually out working ---of course there's an overlap too because some might work AND collect whatever benefits they can. They'd almost have to in order to agree to work for very low wages that give them no benefits like employer provided insurance.
