I grew up in an agricultural community in California. There were a lot of immigrants from Mexico and Central America, most working in agriculture, and others working in low-paying janitorial or other service positions. There were a few who tried to work the system and get what they could out of the government, but that is true for every group. The vast majority of the immigrants I knew – both those here legally and illegally – were amoung the hardest working people I have ever known. Everybody worked, and many families pooled their resources to make ends meet. They live together, share cars, share household and childcare responsibilities. A lot of immigrants from Mexico and Central America do not have healthcare insurance through their jobs, so they are in the same situation as many other low-income Americans. Medical care is all home remedies unless there is a servere illness and in that case the county emergency room is their only option. The people I have known do not feel they are entitled to anything. They are only here looking for the opportunity to work and make a better life for their families. They are really no different from the ancestors of any other American. It is the natural-born Americans who tend to feel that they are entitled to something without having to work for it.
