bob the problem is much more than an illegal immigration . look around the average american is living paycheck to paycheck struggling to make ends meet. saving rates are down, the average american wage has not kept up with inflation. americans have to work more hours to keep up. our manufacturing jobs are leaving america and the jobs that are being created do not provide a living wage, or benefits. the price of education is going through the roof which puts young people behind the eight ball before they even get started in life or if they are lucky their parents will depleats their savings, or home equity to help pay or worse off they will not attend college at all. these are problems that our politicians created on both sides red and blue.
sure illegal immigration adds to the problem. however i think we need to keep our jobs in america and keep americans employed first. im a blue collar guy and i want to be able to provide for my children what my father did for me but it is getting harder everyday. its time for america to take a long look in the mirror and change now before we dont recognize ourselves. we need to stop illegal immigration only after we keep our jobs in america.

Understand what you're saying - I was lucky, I fooled around when I was in school, but not IN school, because I liked it, and learned enough to make a living wage (though not a lot more!).

just keep workin. It will eventually pay off. Also, try playing the stock market a little. Start small, and then once your good at it, put more money into it.

I worked two jobs to put myself thru college! There are no excuses! Go back to school! You will have a better paying job if you are educated. There are always ways to improve yourself. I am a life long learner!

what kind of help are you talking about? welfare? child support? and what do you mean by unless you are illegal? an illegal alien or illegal doings?
you want something in life... you have got to work your *** off. you don't get something for nothing. keep on working and don't start blaming others for what you have or don't have.
remember that we are in America... anything can be possible.

look for programs, do what it takes. tell them what they need to know. you get more with honey than vinegar.
i lost everything then i got help. its better to have nothing to get help than to have a little, i found out the hard way gave up my home. bright side is you only have room for new stuff lol.
