Maybe I'm the lazy one since I'm not willing to do it?
Standing around all day does sound lazy, I'd say if they were jogging to work that'd be another story. At least jogging in place

...and what are you talking "whatever wages", they demand 12/hr + lunch. LOL What city are you finding these cheap ones at? Oh also, they want you to pay for their kids education and they want free healthcare....the two most expensive things on the California budget.

He LIVES there but he's not Mexican.
Carlos Slim was born in Mexico City, lives in Mexico, and holds Mexican citizenship.

He sounds pretty darned Mexican.

Walk in to any DPSS office in Los Angeles county. DPSS = Dept of Public Social Services...the welfare office.

I used to work as a computer tech for the county - any time a DPSS office had computer problems I had to go there. In every DPSS office I went to there was a waiting room full of about 200+ people applying for welfare - about 70% of those people were latino. In some of those offices it seemed to be 99% latino. All of the applications, paperwork, all of the signs in the building...were all printed in spanish because most of them didn't speak English. I'm not trying to offend anyone - that's just what I saw when that was my job. Anyone who has worked within LA's welfare system will tell you the same thing.

Try this experiment - count how many guys are standing in front of Home Depot looking for work. Now go to a DPSS office and count how many you see applying for welfare. Last time I went to HD there were maybe 10-15 guys standing around waiting for work. Last time I went to a DPSS office there were about 150 standing around waiting to apply for welfare.

Pretty sure if you go to the DPSS in Wisconsin you will only find white people. I'm pretty sure it works off the local majority.

Apparently you didn't read his experiment.

Um, that's my experiment?

Of course it works off the local majority. In Wisconsin you might find more white people applying for welfare, but you won't find any illegal day-laborers looking for work in front of HD either. What's your point?

You're the one with the experiment. Obviously anywhere there's a majority of ethnicity/race, you will find more of them at the DPSS. It's just common sense. I don't expect to find a lot of Arab Americans in the DPSS in Alaska.
