"when 34% of the immigrants from Mexico are living off welfare programs"

Mind-boggling, huh?

It is mind-boggling. In spite of all those using food stamps in most of the grocery stores and living in the projects and the large number of unemployed and NAFTA-displaced, the illegals don't seem to have much trouble finding work. The majority by far living off the many welfare programs here are people from Mexico or their kids ---and they're not about to get out there and pick chilis or help bale hay. They're always trying to find some new recreation center to get the gangs off the streets ----but work is obviously beneath them. I can't say I always blame the farmers when they hire a willing-to-work illegal because the cholos from the projects aren't employable.
