in Miami, they did an investigative story. They followed a "street Beggar" and watched him throughout the day. A the end of the day he got into his almost new car, and drove home to his 90 thousand dollar house. Where his wife had just returned from work in her late model BMW 325i. He changed and actually gave an interview and said that he usually made about 50 to 60 thousand dollars per year doing this.
Is this comparable to what Mexico has been doing to America for years?

Think so just like i'm sure there are some beggars that actually don't have money to eat or a place to stay.There are others that like this one are just playing off the sentiments of others.I guess the same could be said for illegals and legals too who abuse the welfare and healthcare system.Some actually do need it,while others abuse it.And in the end I think everyone pays,wich is a shame.Instead of doing the whole "illegals go home" why isn't the government talking about reforming the requirements for welfare and how long people can be on it.Because comeon now,if a 20 something woman with 4 kids cannot find a job doing something,yet an illegal can then either she's not trying hard enough or she simply isn't trying.I would suggest saying that her welfare check will be canceled soon,would be a good initiative for her and others to find a job.

Yes it seems to be. Every illegal I hear from is sending most of his meager pay home to mexico to support the rest of his/her family. Where is all that money going? There should be enough in Mexico now to have kick started their economy.

I think it's a fairly accurate analogy. It would be even better if the beggar had reacted with outrage whenever someone even suggested not giving him their hard-earned money.

As an analogy, it makes perfect sense. Is this for real. Only in America.

He's your run-of-the-mill scam artist, he does it because he knows he can get away with it, living off the compassion and generosity of the average American. All nationalities are doing this.
