Nor in the late 1800, 1930, 1950, etc

All these people who came to America in our parents / grandparents / great-grandparents era didn't expect shite when they got here.

Now we have these assholes who expect us to just give them free shite when they get here.

The EXPECT it because our leaders allow this shite to happen.

You have no idea what you are talking about. Central Americans that risk their lives are not expecting to mooch off the state. Their idea is to get to the US, get a job in order to send money back to their families in Central America. Most of them have no idea about welfare programs nor how to use them, its ridiculous to think that is what they are hoping for.

Just to be clear, they want money to send back to their wives, kids, family etc. Just look at the numbers in economies like Honduras, El Salvador, a big part is "divisas" or money sent from the US by immigrants.

Now I agree that welfare should not be given to arriving immigrants, let them prove they are productive before anything is given for free.
