Does the average American know most people "working the system" and are on welfare are white people?

Question

As the middle class dissolves in America our leadership is trying to direct the problem at immigrants. The problem is not the workers in the fields. The problem is the politicians not working in Washington. If our leadership was doing their job the American people would not be fighting over non-skilled jobs with immigrants. The Republicans for the last 12 years have ignored education. Instead they put the tax payers money into Iraq's well being. They did not spend it on New Orleans they gave it to Haliburton.
The problem is not the immigrants. The problem is the people that are citizens of America have the same skills as a immigrant from a third world country without the desire to succeed.

Put on your boxing gloves boy:
I cannot think of a better way to work the system than work at the welfare office.
Let me guess he or she is white? I am not judging white people I am one.

Answer 1

You are correct.

Answer 2

I could shoot holes in your rhetoric, there, but it looks rickety enough that if I just stand here and wait, it'll fall apart by itself...

Illegal immigration is a crime, and it's far from the last crime that gets committed by some people that enter our country that way, and the sooner we have real enforcement on preventing it,
and sending people home that've entered illegally, and get rid of things like welfare, the better off we'll be. Part of the reason people end up on public assistance is because of employers that thought they could put a fast one by the public, and because few people really sit down and talk about this, there's been mass ignorance on it for years. Suffice it to say that when businesses decide to just do whatever they feel like, and break the law at will, it's going to impact workers. I think americans have plenty of desire to succeed, but how far are you going to get when all these other factors are involved? I think you like to talk a lot of crap about americans, when frankly the reason you're advocating for the illegals is because you likely have a personal stake in the entire business.

America's a good country, and the people are hard-working, if that were not true, you wouldn't see people literally trying to swarm in. But, the laws still need to be enforced, and immigration law is one of our sets of laws that've been neglected for years and years. I'm sure you have a lot of ambition, and how nice it would be for whatever country it is you came from for you to take some of that ambition home and actually go home and help your own people, instead of trashing on the people who are most likely your employers. Tell you what, we'll even buy you a bus ticket, as an incentive, there....

Answer 3

I think that anyone that disobeys the rules should pay the consequences of his acts. And that all countries have the right to protect their borders in whatever form they please. But I don't think that illegal aliens are to blame for all the economic and social problems the US has.

For example, low wages and unemployment. If illegal immigrants were banished from America the larger industries would immediately settle overseas for cheaper labor.

Also hard working people are paying more taxes not because of illegal immigrants but because of the tax breaks given to larger corporations that cannot compete with other countries that can produce in larger quantities and at a cheaper costs.

Just shop around on the internet and compare prices with american and non american products.

Answer 4

So, someone who has a legitimate job is "working the system"? Really?

I think that you are racist. I can't believe that you even made that comment. America, as a whole, is a pretty educated Country and more are educated every day.

Equal opportunity was a good thing, because it causes us to be more accepting of others who aren't just like us, however, it also causes struggles for middle class working families because it can put them at a disadvantage for getting a job in the first place.

However, we don't mind, really. As hard as it may be, it was 100 times harder for a black man to get any kind of job at all to feed his family 150 years ago. Things have improved greatly since that time.

I can't believe you are stuck in the New Orleans thing. Why was it the President's responsiblity to have the foresite? Why not the Mayor or the Governor? Why not the President before him or the one before him, etc. New Orleans was built under sea level long before our time. Mud slinging is your middle name, right?

Answer 5

It's not the fact that these laborers are taking jobs, at below minimum wage, but the fact they don't pay taxes. AND they use the services the tax system was designed for. You know hospitals, schools, welfare, social services etc.. It's a drain on tax payers.
The companies paying these people do so, because it is cheaper obviously. The illegals except lower wages because they don't pay taxes and nearly equals what a real laborer would make in net pay.
I'm all for giving anyone a fair shake. If someone wants to come to this country and make a go of it.. good for them. Just abide by the same rules everyone else does.
Did you know 13 people are killed everyday, by illegal aliens Operating under the Influence? Thirteen people... everyday.

Answer 6

Since white people are the majority in the US why wouldn't that be true.You are sadly misinformed tho on everything else,too much time spent trying to discredit the people of the US and not enough time spent in the real world.Illegal aliens are criminals and should be deported.We don't need any more discontents in this nation.If you dislike this nation then try to do something about it legally,supporting the detractors of our nation is not the way.You have it seems been brain washed by the
liberal biased media.I live in Arizona and illegal aliens have always been a huge problem in my border state,This past Nov we passed 4 great new laws to assist us in the fight against the unlawful invasion..You are sadly misinformed if you think illegal aliens are a "new" problem.Perhaps you need to find out more about this nation and its problems.Americans are some of the hardest working, most enterprising people in the world.Wake up to reality not rhetoric.

Answer 7

Most people in the entire country are white, so it is only natural that most people on welfare are white. The point isn't their color but whether they are here legally or are stealing services meant to serve our own poor -- not foreigners gaming our system.

As for education, I assume you don't have a kid in public schools. Illegal immigration is ruining our schools and upwards mobility for our own people and 'the Republicans' (ie the Bush globalists) ignored it because cheap labor was more important to them than the welfare of the American people.

Answer 8

interior of sight human beings are interior of sight to the Americas, for this reason the call. You do comprehend that all and sundry human populations hint back to a founding team in Africa right? Europeans are indigenous to Europe because of the fact human beings unfold into that section and that they tailored to that climate and grew to grow to be White Europeans. The ancestors of the two interior of sight human beings, Asians and Europeans all pass back to a single inhabitants that had unfold into southwest Asia. The branch of human beings that made their way into the Americas tens of 1000's of years in the past have been the 1st team in that hemisphere. for this reason, they are indigenous to those lands. that is not a not undemanding theory to comprehend. and what's this "to the victor" stuff even advise? There are 500+ tribal countries that still exist in actuality, and local human beings serve in the U. S. protection stress on the optimum fee of any ethnicity in this united states.

Answer 9

Before You Start Patting Yourself On The Back ....

There Are More Than 20 Million ILLEGAL ALIENS
85 Percent Of Them Hispanic/Latino
With A Large Percentage Of THEM Being Mexicano

Of The 20 Million
Only 2 Percent Work In Agriculture
While, Depending On Your Source Of Reference,
39 - 42 Percent Are On The Welfare Rolls

For blacks and Hispanics,
poverty rates dropped by almost five percentage points
between 1996 and 2001
.
Poverty dropped
from 27.7 percent to 23.1 percent among blacks
and from 29.6 percent to 24.9 percent among Hispanics.

Whites experienced a smaller decline
of approximately two percentage points,
from 9.8 percent to 7.9 percent.

While the changes in poverty over this period
effectively narrowed the disparities in poverty rates
between blacks and Hispanics compared to whites,
blacks and Hispanics remained
approximately three times as likely to be on welfare as whites.

Even Though The Black Population Is Larger
The Hispanics Are STILL Drawing More Welfare

Loosely Translated
Nearly 30 Percent Of The Hispanic Population In The USA
Legally And ILLEGALLY
Are Recieving Financial Aid From The State (Welfare)
With A Slightly Less Percentage For Blacks

Less Than 10 Percent Of Whites Are On Welfare
Or "Working The System" As You Stated

Considering There Are 300 Million American Consumers
And More Than 60 Percent Are White

PROPORTIONATELY (Per Capita)
There Are More Hispanics On Welfare Than Whites Or Blacks

Roughly
1 Out Of 10 Whites Draw Welfare
As Opposed To 1 Out Of 4 For Blacks
And 1 Out Of 3 For Hispanics

Answer 10

Amen JD......thanks for the stats. Not to mention that the hispanic population alot of times opts to be "caucasion" when it suits them. Remember the "caucasion" woman who kidnapped the baby? Hispanic. For all intensive purposes they are caucasion so it's not essentially a lie. But they jump on the "white" band wagon when it serves their purpose and then play the "race" card when it doesn't. I just know who handed me food cards and it wasn't a bunch of "white non- hispanic". It's not "white non-hispanics" flooding the maternity wards and ER's. It's not "white non-hispanics" over-burdening our school systems and refusing to assimilate.
There are alot of citizens who don't have a great education and aren't trying but it doesn't help when they have illegals competing to do the low wage jobs for less or not qualify because they don't speak Spanish.

Answer 11

I agree that there are a lot of citizen in the US that had rather be on welfare than to work because they get all the freebies and in reality, they are making more than some of the hard working Americans. I have seen more white people on welfare in the last few years.
