If there is a will there is a way. It depends on how motivated the
person is to succeed in life.

Excuses are easy.

Person A works a 40 hour week and makes 50k a year.
Person B works a 90 hour week and makes 25k a year.

Would you theorize that it's easier, or harder for person B to go to
college?

If person B is an illegal immigrant, then he shouldn't be whining. If he
is
a legal immigrant, then he should be whining about all the cheap labor
coming over the border, not marching in the streets under a Mexican flag.


If Person B is an illegal, he's here working because some sleazy American
employer found a way to exploit cheap labor. Person B's basically badly
paid slaves.

And how do you know this? They are making better wages than a lot of
people. Day laborers in Los Angeles get $10 / hour minimum. Tax free.
Beats the hell out of $9/ hour at McD's. Even legal to work people work as
day laborers in California. Hard to hire day workers from the state
agencies. A few years ago, cleaning out the in-laws house to get it ready
to sell, I called up California EDD, Employment fDevelopment Department for
4 laborers for a Saturday. Paying 150% of minimum wage for them. EDD said
OK. No one showed up. Is why the Mexicans and other Central Americans are
being hired. They show up and work. I picked up 3 workers in Berkeley, and
as we leave, the only legal one is a 60 year old green card Mexican. Other
2 are from El Salvador and I assume they are not legal. An about 22 year
old white guy is on the corner with a sign asking for money as he is
homeless. The Mexican says "Lazy, just damn lazy!". And he is correct.
The street people in San Francisco cause all kinds of problems by living on
the street, and still get $500 month stipend. What are your cures for the
problem?
