- Опубликовано: 19 ноя 2011
- A surprising number of Americans are receiving federal government issued food stamps in the growing new social class called the "new poor." Mark Strassmann reports on the formally well off families who were once full of food and rich futures, but now are now destitute.
That couple that was ashamed made me cry , gosh I pray I never have to suffer being broke :(
3:07--No soldier and his family should ever have to live like this!
Why?
No soldier should even be deployed into PTSD-inducing combat situations nowadays anyway in the first place. It's all wars for oil and the military industrial complex. Bring our boys home.
They can't afford to take of themselves, But.... He's driving a brand new truck 🤔 . They have no money and can't feed themselves, But... She's pregnant.. GTFOH

@@magicworld3242 - how do you know he hasn't already paid off that car?
It's heartbreaking to see how some people who have did everything right in life worked everyday didn't mess up, miss a day, retired then with the crash, and some medical bills they are broke! So unfair.
It's sad but Life's not fair. They can rejoice in all the good years there health etc. And remember we are all on God's mercy and Welfare.
People voted for it. People chased the tax deduction at all costs sadly they just didn't realize that poverty can strike anyone.
in their 70s and they still havent paid off the house.
tell me about it, between my husband and I we work 3 jobs but have only about 15 to 20 dollars to last us until the next pay check after bills are paid... we make too much for food stamps (denied recently) but we also make too little to survive in our state... so we are literally stuck in the cracks with no way out... fucking sucks
sorry to hear that.

Move into the cheapest room you can find. And save save save. Thats what I did for 12 years.Now im financially solid.
Porscha Harris Take another look at your bills, see if there is anywhere you can cut expenses. Perhaps you are still paying for cable that you hardly use because your both working? How about your phone, we have republic wireless, and pay $30.00 a month for 2 phones with them (dumped the land line). You do have to purchase the phone though. Look at your taxes, when we lived in NJ they took so much from my husbands overtime that he was better off finding another job working the standard 40 hour work week. Are you working all those hours just to see it all taxed away. Are you paying to much for convenience because your so tired after work no one wants to cook? We all do it from time to time, but it can be a habit that will eat you alive. I really do wish you the best because we have all been were your at.
If you leave America and work else where you will live better. I noticed people love America so much they would rather stay and starve to death. I see a ship sinking I leave. Only the captain i.e. Congress and the president should have to stay on the ship.
Porscha Harris have you thought about cleaning out one of your bedrooms and taking on a border or roommate. Of course do strong background checks and references before letting just anyone in that would probably help a little.
Help me understand something, why in America are people going hungry when we as a nation waste over 150 billion dollars a year throwing away good edible food. I have seen first hand how much good food is thrown away because of a small flaw or blemish that does not affect the quality of the products and why can't we be less wasteful??
plus all of the excess land in this country could be used to grow fruits and veggies all over the place. Parks, mountains, valleys, ect.
www.theguardian.com/environment/2016/jul/13/us-food-waste-ugly-fruit-vegetables-perfect
read that.
Olivia Wills I agree we need less waste I watched a program on this subject from the UK (it's affecting them as well). A better system needs to come from the larger grocery stores, now they can demand like perfect produce from the farmers, and that causes waste and excess use of pesticides as well, because near perfect fruit or vegetables do not grow naturally. The store will also only go down so much on price before they throw out product. I was working in a grocery store in the States, when one of the men from the meat department was complaining about "having to throw out a large amount of chicken" if it didn't sell that night. He said he was going to mark it down, I worked as a volunteer and would have bought the chicken if he had marked it down a lot, and would have donated it. But they did not mark it down a lot, I think the supermarkets have a policy never to mark things down past a certain level (probably there cost). What happened that day is I bought a couple of packs when they went down in price for my family. But they were still a little pricey, and there was no way I was going to purchase any to donate at there prices. At the same time the groceries are tossing out product "rather than take a loss". They pay there own workers as little as they can get by with. This happens at all the stores as far as I know.
we have an organization that collects day old food from restaurants and grocery stores and makes hot meals to feed people in need ... the stores and restaurants love it ...it's a win win ... they get to write off donations from there tax and people in need get to eat well...
In Australia its illegal for stores to throw out near sell by date food and we need that law here in America
VETS should NOT have to struggle PERIOD !!!!
i agree and seeing that man limping with his pregnant wife made me cry
so sad this inst fair they have too live this way
PERIOD POINT BLANK
Teardropangel30 I wouldn’t feel so badly for her. She had her nails done and that was at least $45 the way she had them done. Don’t get me wrong, she’s probably struggling but nails would be the first to go.
@@lizfalk280 - I know many women especially here in the Atlanta area who do our nails like that for each other. Definitely not spending $45. She most likely did the same.
why? vets made the choice to go to war nobody made them go. nobody should have to struggle vets or nobody PERIOD!!!!!!!!!!!!
This truly breaks my ❤.
Thats not right...that man is a US veteran, we OWE him. We owe them all.
theresa bollman They owe it to themselves to prepare for retirement.
The common theme I see when watching these videos from the comments is typically one where people blame the victims, eviscerating these ppl for falling on hard times, as if it were their fault. This is the problem in the US, we are brainwashed to think any flaw stemming from our system of predatory capitalism is the fault of the victims rather than the system itself.
I invested in people with my excess, and so far, I am blessed by God, thank you God and bless others!
I'm sorry but why knowing you can not feed yourself or your family be so irresponsible to get pregnant??
+Mary Morrow Are you really that dense? If you can't even buy food how exactly are you going to buy contraception?
+Leggo My Ego its called close your damned legs!!!!!!!
+Leggo My Ego well if you can't afford contraceptive
then you can't afford a baby
then you shouldn't have sex its really not rocket science people have to be smarter than this
Boss Lady I agree, except if you can't afford contraceptives then you have no realistic way of preventing a baby.
Leggo My Ego but you do, you don't have sex simple
I thought some clinics gave away free birth control or free condoms
But if you can't afford the things to help prevent a baby then you for sure can't afford a baby then you shouldn't be having sex
Sad. Bring back the factory jobs, staring making everything here, people want to work but there are no good jobs.
Nothing new here; age discrimination has become the norm for decades now. Employer corporations and businesses do not want to pay experienced, older employees the wages they deserve or the higher insurance premiums that insurance companies charge employers of older workers. State and Federal governments, even though there are anti-discrimination laws on both books, do little or nothing to curb the laying off of senior employees and older managers in workplaces in favor of youth. Many older workers become and remain unemployed thanks to rampant age discrimination in hiring practices that are on-going to this day. Hypocrisy abounds and creates poverty because nothing is done to stop these human-rights violations. Older workers are forced into taking early Social Security and losing at least 25% of their Social Security income for the rest of their lives. This is one of the several reasons why I want our governments to take care of our own citizens first. Both pre-baby boomers and baby boomers need justice done to recoup their lost careers and livelihoods. For shame, America. What you do to your own older citizens is one of your worst glaring hypocrisies!
Even if they did bring the jobs back to the USA, corporations and government leaders would claim that they need to hire more immigrants, because Americans just didn’t want those jobs!
Americas youths are college educated and half will think a factory job beneath them. Maybe some will take this
and it's going to get harder people
Sickens me that there are US politicians who previously campaigned for the removal of food stamps, now there is an economic shift whereby it's difficult to find jobs and changes to fiscal status...suddenly they change their tune.
Children should have food stamps if needed. Adults different story.
@@dianerose7631 So you're fine letting needy adults suffer. How compassionate of you...🙄
This is so sad that there are this many people going threw this.
Greed, disrespect are the reasons.
poor getting poorer rich getting rich
all retirees should be on food stamps.
i give my respects to mr. price and his family because he was a veteran
he deserves a blessed life for being in the service. he deserves all the help he can get too
anyone who is a veteran deserves any help they can get in my opinion
its sad they cant help veteran find a place to live or help with food
where i live
The new poor are just going through what poor ppl have gone through for lifetimes
It's four years later from the airing of this show and things are only worse. WORSE, I tell you!
is it in 2019?
160 a month was a lot of money in 1960
The longevity of poverty continues to rise and people are seriously running out of resources in America ( Land of Milk and Honey).
And Amazon pay NO tax.
You understand that they get tax credits in exchange for bringing jobs, i.e. taxpayers, to a community.
Also, each Amazon job creates additional jobs throughout the community.
So you are all telling a man returning from the war, a man who has served honorably and is now disabled, that we should abandon him and his wife, but most of all he cannot even have sex with his wife? What more should he give up for his country? What more should he give up you for YOU?
He can have sex w his wife!
Camilla Belle that is true and the country needs to start owning up to it
In professional Pro Sports reasonable owners and agents
Requires all rookies to attend
classes on how to avoid emotional and financial dangerous situations.
Such as business scams, frivolous lawsuits,personal money
mismanagement and gold diggers
Along with the practice of safe sex plus the use of birth control pills.
The military should require the
same type of similar for all military personnel. THE MILITARY IS A
GREAT AND HONORABLE PROFESSION. EXCEPT YOU WILL NOT GET RICH OR HAVE THE TIME OR MONEY FOR A FAMILY LIFESTYLE. DEFINITELY NOT BE ABLE TO RAISE YOUR KIDS ON YOUR OWN. Career counseling
and money management can help
veterans avoid this kind of situation.
If anyone is upset by this comment I apologize. That is not it's intent.
Of course he can but becoming pregnant is irresponsible. Does not have to happen now costing tax payers even more. What ever happened to accountability? I haven’t made poor decisions and consequently I get ZERO help yet I’m forced to pay for everyone else’s
informative video. Thumbs up because we need to be aware of this, but it's sad at the same time :(
In the richest country in the world, we have hungry and homeless people in ever growing numbers. Yet the breaks go to the rich? So bad so sad.
Those old folk, has paid their dues and deserves anything free. They shouldn't be ashamed of any thing.
And why are those people having kids if they can barely afford to take care of themselves?!!!!
There are persons in Naples Florida elders who need help from grassroot assistance for food.
I've been getting food stamps for a long time & what really pisses me off are the people that are embarrassed to get them & are embarressed to use them if it bothers people that bad then they need not get them go hungry cause it's nothing to be ashamed of being poor of course I'd like to be wealthy & not need them everybody would but unfortunately that's not gonna happen so just do what u have to but never drop ur head in shame cause u have to use them to eat.
+Jackyblue67 Same People are embarrassed because they have been humbled. They are among the same people they sat there and talked about. There are so many more people on the way.
um it's nothing to be proud of
being on food stamps not being able to feed your own children yes you should be ashamed
I had my twins young and I was on food stamps for about a year and me being ashamed not wanting my kids to grow up on ebt and welfare I worked my butt of ti graduate college
Most people on food stamps have never worked lol...like single moms. Heard the term "welfare queen?"
Boss Lady and did you get a job that is in your degree field? Js
Jackyblue67 Same I'm embarrassed, because i know government subsidies, ultimately lower the value of currency. It prompts me to work really hard to learn a skill that might land me a decent paying job soon enough. We all want to work for what we get. It's dignified that way.
I also know not everyone has control over their situation, so it's best to not judge others.
I'm not judging or criticizing but one thing that puzzles me she said she had a son that was 16 teen he is old enough to get a job at a fast food place when I was 16 I had a job I pay for everything myself I didn't depend on my parents forgive me if I hurt anyone's feelings but this is just my opinion and how I feel
+Jocelyn Paul No I understand, I worked at 16 as well. I dont know how it is everywhere else, but I had to have good grades to get and keep a job. I was also only allowed to work 4 hrs a day during the week, and was blessed I had parents to pick me up from the job.
+Jocelyn Paul i understand with u. in 2009 when the economy was taking a nose dive i remember tryig to get a job and it was hard. there werent many. that would be the case for him. i was at a fast food restraunt that was brand new and hired people and just a month later were go due to no business and the first ones where those werent at least 18 beause they were jus only able to work so many hours in a day whereas adults could work random hours. he could b or was looking but its hard to find jobs depending on where u live.
Same here every summer since i was 14 i would work to buy what i needed (makeup clothes twin bed! Lol)
Jocelyn Paul why he have to work at 16 his parents bought him here! I get it work to help your parents out but he shouldn't have to
Jo Gill kids in parents basement is NOT a "liberal"thing, it is all"yuppie"or rich parents that spoiled the kids, INCLUDING conservitives
Bless you dear! No everyone can earn their own living because....some are just not able to have the opportunities that others may have....they can't help that they are alive and living in this world, so they must be helped. It is our human duty to help fellow human beings!
Embarrassing to eat for free?! Give me some of that.
why should americans lose their house just because of a recession? the banks shouldn't own what the working class made.
Never followed directions
How do all those people at the end have newer vehicles??
They got the car when they had a job, but then lost the job and can't sell the car because no one has the money to buy it from them!
I bet you half of those new cars got repossessed!
Michael Walker i was thinking the same thing if i drove up in these carsi wouldbe turned away
sell the car
Why are people embarrassed to get food stamps? You pay taxes for a reason and with all the crap that the government pays for food stamps/Medicaid are the only times it’s used for something people really need. It is not a hand out but your own money coming back to you. These people should be crying over the Iraq war and all the other nonsense that our tax dollars are currently funding. Food stamps is something we should all be proud of as Americans because it has helped the poor and that is a good thing to do. By the way food stamps only takes up a tiny part of the government budget and that is why it makes my blood boil when they talk about cutting funding for it. You know people are truly evil when they want to take food out of the mouth of kids, the sick and elderly just to save a buck.
I have been on both sides , donating and receiving. I am not on food stamps right now, though I know I am eligible. If you are eligible go for it, no shame if one is in need, that is what it is there for. There is a lot of fraud in it , as many who know they shouldn't get them( like illegals) do and people who get them sell them( even if they have a card that is suppose to prevent it.You get played with by the system too. The system needs a big over haul, and people need jail time.
This is what voting against your own interests looks like.
100% correct.
This is another example of the people working doing fair one day they r on food stamps. It goes back to the gov. People r not paid enough for there work. Then big corporations up all utilities. Mortgages go up. Before u know what happened u r in poverty because if big business.
@TheWorldUTube I don't agree, I think these big banks who are responsible for the economic woes should give the money back they stole.
right before this there was a hometown buffet ad kinda fucked up
There are many people who are in this situation due to no fault of their own. But the couple who retired in their early 50's and the couple where neither can work but they thought it was a good idea to have a baby??.... it's their own fault that they are in their situations
Probably birth control failed, it happens a lot.
I can lay money down that the 70% of those embarrassed are the ones that have looked down upon those that needed the help. I almost pray sometimes when I see these people screaming at low income people, trying to live, using food stamps and belittling people for using them have to walk a mile in them people's shoes. I don't wish poverty on anyone but just saying you get back what you put out..
I blame this President, this Congress, and the aristocrats of Corporations who made their money, but in a sleazy way. The time is now to turn the United States around into what it truly is, that "Shining City on the hill".
Feed the elderly!
The richest third world country on the globe.
the usa--the third world country of the western world.
Anybody making less than 55k a year should be able to get food stamps!
Because here in America there’s so many laws and rules of regulations for foods. Instead of feeding to people the stores must throwing them away even the foods that are close to expiration date.
i have shock when see the edge of poverty in america.
these are the new poor, welcome from the old poor. grab a bowl and get in line.
And then fast forward nine years later and there's way too many people on government assistance and there's more jobs.
The people in this video are the exception. They've worked, and paid their taxes used to pay for food stamps for others. They may need help now, but if they are embarrassed it means that they'll find a way not to need it later. What gets me are the people who brag their food stamps paid for by the tax dollars of people who work, have kids while on food stamps (unlike the guy in the video) and use what little money they have for cigarettes, liquor, and pet food. What's even worse is they feel like they deserve food stamps not realizing that the same government that feeds them can also starve them. Food stamps are government mandated charity.
Tony Banks One thing that does happen that is kind of a good thing about these programs like food stamps and food banks, etc, is that people who are down on there luck use them to lift themselves up out of poverty (which is what these programs are meant to do). One problem with that is that no sooner that we help one family back onto there feet, another slips through the cracks and they use the same programs and do the same thing. I think one thing better about our programs in the States compared to overseas, is at least with the food banks anyone in need can get help without needing a government referral. In other countries you need a referral by the government, so that means those like you mentioned who are living on the system get help, but those that just need a little hand don't get it. They tried it here and the middle class complained and they did away with the government referral needed because the government was using the food stamp cards instead as the referral, that was bad because a middle class family can need a hand in bad times and still not qualify for food stamps. Such things as a temporary illness and accident etc can happen to anyone and you might need a hand up at such times.
He doesn't have a job, they already have one child to support, so they think it's a good decision to bring another child into this mess. Then they complain about their limited benefits.
Probably birth controll failed i doubt they really wanted a child.
Driving off in a rag top Sabb. Didn't see anyone walking up in nothing but the clothes on their back
And people still join the American military?.......Yeah...you see how much they appreciate your service. People sign up to get screwed with no lube....very smart
god brings back homeless days taking handouts at the church, didn't believe but went to get something food this story is so fucking sad
This is YOU TUBE!!!!!...Its all about comments and conversation. if your feelings are hurt then I don't think this is the forum for you
Says the coward with no picture...why so angry?....lol certain ppl on YT kill me. Its not that serious sweetie...get a life
Well some people join just to support their families and no choice
kyndallgirl81 They do change the rules and break there promises to you once you join, and remember it's the only job you can take were you cannot leave without breaking the law and risking prison or even execution. Your enlisted (it's a throwback from the armies of the past).
Hard to feel sorry for receiver states that are already draining the economy.
They should stop keeping up with the Jones's.
We need more jobs in America bring back companies that were outsourced ....
Because the word power has stepped in.its not about the human race.its about taking your soul,your dignity,your identity,then what is left.you will be owned.for everything we stood for and worked for.
Don’t understand the vet situation, there are so many programs of benefits for veterans and they stated he’s retired, he can get paid for injuries ,something not adding up.
The veteran is getting US$1600 in benefits and the wife is crying for what? They are much better off than the working poor. Sometimes I don't get it. She and her veteran hubby should not feel down because the govt is helping them. Almost all veterans who come home from a war are diagnosed with PTSD. Is it really that or the husband do not really want to work and just wants to laze around the house. Just asking. Anyway this video is nine (9) years ago and hope the present Covid-19 pandemic has not made the situation worse for the people featured here. I feel really sad for the retired white couple who lost their retirement money in bad investments and could face home foreclosure. Hope their situation has gotten better.
My heart breaks for the black couple and that wanting to work is the way over 97% of the black population way of thinking. In fact over 74% of the black population do work a lot of us more than 1 job. Not to mention we are the most educated globally.
New cars on food stamps or at the food pantry.? Of course when disaster comes it comes at unexpected time.Like your income is suddenly less. or you get sick.
seriously... driving up in a 30k car askin for food? wtf
cherie andersen Sabb,Four Runner, can’t be to bad off!
cherie andersen i was just thinking the same thing
Francis Rady you said it
maybe they lost their job ever think of that?
@claire bigelow smart woman.
OMG, these people are my husband and me! I My husband was unemployed at age 59 at the height of the recession and we lost everything. Our savings, 401Ks, Savings Bonds, the few pieces of jewelry we had and our wedding rings, etc. We had to go on food stamps (not the high point of our lives) and the house went into foreclosure. Luckily we sold it before the bank got it but the real estate market was still bleak here in CA after the real estate crash so we walked away with very little money but we were thankful to be out from under the mortgage. What we did get went towards the $120K in debt we ran up trying to hold on to our house and our lives. We're still carrying around $40K of that debt left over from the house sale. My husband finally found work this year (took 7 years) at 50% of his previous salary. Things are still very tough out there, no matter what the Right, or Donald Trump says.
szqsk8 I am sorry you are going through such a rough time. I know you are correct as far as the housing bubble goes, housing is still worth less than its was, I have a home that is worth a third what it was before. You cannot make up that kind of a loss with your labor and that's another thing wrong with our system. Just keep doing the best you can.
szqsk8
I will pray for you & all of your family. I only hope that people will grow more compassion for the hurt of others. It's hard to be aware of all the bad thoughts of others, when persons find themselves in the struggle to survive here in the US. I know that God will bless you, sooner than later. Much love, Tom
There are and have been hungry people everywhere everyday. To believe otherwise is just kidding yourself. Sad that people have been made to feel embarrassed about needing to eat. It is a crime in many cities to give food to homeless people. Few have benefited since the last recession except those at the top. I personally do not know any person who has been helped by tax cuts or supposed wage hikes that are ridiculously minimal.
but there are jobs out there.
fields,stores,etc
it's understandable if an elderly couple but young ones having kids after kids
first step when you realize you're poor.... don't have kids !!!
the poor will be with us always That's scripture...
Rusty Nail well, I'm not sure if you realize this, or if he even took the 5 Seconds of would have taken to read the description, but it mention that these were formerly well-off families, of course you're going to buy yourself groceries when you have a lot of money, and when you don't have a lot of money you aren't. When you are well-off you're going to have children, and when you aren't, well you just aren't
Rusty Nail Extremely good advice! If only people listened?
Rusty Nail
You are a fool if you think this couldn't happen to you, with or without children. Society ENDS without Children!
@@conjurerwoman9726 since the world is overpopulated thats gonna be a long time coming
I am sorry...but how you define poor in a developed country? Growing in a poor country...I always live in a shoestring budget...there are times we cannot buy what we want...here in our country we work only for food and nothing on else...you are lucky if you have a job at all! Thanks to our kinship culture..our families and our neighbors bond closely for us to survive the difficult times! The concept of sharing! Americans sometimes must feel the hardships to appreciate what they already have! Compared to us, they have lots of opportunities but for us, we always have to be thrifty and sometimes buy what you people called "GARBAGE" (like used clothes)...our second hand appliance stores are operational you know, we are not ashamed to be poor!
magdalena mlgoo I hope things improve for you and your friends and family.

Hay I am very poor but I tell u I don't ever get new cloths from a store I shop at yard sale or 2 hand places when I go to 2 hand places I make sure its a non profit meaning the money they do make gose to people in need an family's in need all over the world. I teach my son to give to other he want a toy he gives a toy and that how it works we even gave books to the schools. That have none or have donated to his whole class. At the end of the year.. Yes I can say there are many gready Americans. But some of the poorest people I. The usa would give to those in need before are wealthy AMERICAN WOULD
I ASLO KNOW that if u take a look at the cleabries spend 30,000 for one outfit and that pay for a car a home the bills and put food on my table for well over a year. But who saying anything to them. No instead we judged the poor. Somthing not right hear.
people could learn a lot from what you are saying. I agree that Americans are spoiled many times- we have so much. if you go to another country there are no food pantries- no government assistance. you starve for real. its very tragic. peace.
this old couple -I must cry!This cruel Situation give it in Germany ,too!In GB,inFrance,Italy but we all donate the poors in Africa ,Asien etc.Please help the poors in front of the house.Let the rich people (all Actor,Starsin Sport und Music)donate the Africans and all the another country !They have money !
People seriously need to wake up and start voting for your economic situation rather than chasing tax cuts all the time. Poverty can strike anyone
Thank God for day old bread and store brand beans
I fully support the military but not only is this man suffering from PTSD but got his lady pregnant why? They should have sorted out their finance before doing that... my gosh people let's be clear about what is a priority.... getting better finding your feet and then have a child the mind boggles.....
Claudia Arias I bet your response would be different if he was white
Whether or not I have money God is always in control of my future. I put my trust in him and not in money. I was raised in poverty by a single mother and I know what its like to see that kind of struggle. Since I have been married I have had my fair share of hard times as well when my husband was out of work for 18 months. Even still God has provided in various ways. My husband has a job now but it is not a very well paying job but I am appreciative of it because it's hard to find a job!!!
America has changed from super power to super hungry.
thank you for pointing that out i agree with you.
FOOD STAMPS??? WHAT HAPPENED TO COUPON CLIPPINGS??? FREE GROUCERIES ???????
Amen!

Why bring a baby into a situation where neither of you have a JOB? Now, we, the taxpayers, have to support you and your baby.
ladybug01 many women work until they go into labor and then off afew weeks...I'm surprised really they received financial help.
Places I can pay for rent or afford to buy will be the place that is dangerous area I am just scare to ever fine live in a place like that
So many those peoples are driving a nice car... then wish all the lunches are FREE. ..

And now, a decade later, nothing is better thanks to coronavirus.
I have a problem with people who claim to be struggling having more children. Why would you bring a new baby into your mess.
That is a really great question
this is the new America thank to free trade
Keep having those kids !
If we didn’t send 30 Billion dollars to Israel we could help these people.
If this guy has been medically retired, he should be getting a military pension, full medical via the VA and SSD.
If he budgets right, all he needs are free condoms and they should be able to make it just fine.
I’m a retired widow and can’t imagine being in their position.
why the illegal immigrant with kids more then 4 are not poor ?.
They are they're illegal though so they keep their mouth shut or get deported and if there kids were born here THEY are citizens but their parents are not so they're sent back to where they came from without their children.
Ifke Rawung The illegals and even the immigrants work under a completely different set of laws and rules than the American middle class. Immigrants can get interest free loans to start a business here that are unavailable to Americans, they can also run there businesses without paying income taxes for up to three years, and after those three years are up they usually have another family member take over and the clock resets. Why do you think the foreigners own so many of our businesses? They also can double or triple up in housing and usually no one hassles them about it, if an American tried this, the social workers would be at there door threatening to take there kids, I had this happen to a friend of mine she had to move to different housing because someone told on her for being one bedroom shy. They also take benefits and work under the table, they also don't worry about things like insurance payments for health and auto, because they work for cash under the table, they qualify for government healthcare, and the children get free lunches and financial aid at school. Therefore they are able to save up much more cash, which they usually send home to their families overseas.
