My major problem with immigrants are those that come here and sponge off the system. Many drive much nicer vehicles and live in far better houses than I do, and I've been a part of the work force since I was 12 (first job was on a farm - the hardest and most physically demanding one to date). Everyone thinks they "deserve" gov't money not realizing (or maybe they do) that this money comes from the taxpayers. Too many people looking for a handout and the gov't gives it to them.

On a similar vein; it makes me very angry seeing people that make a career out of being on welfare/gov't aid and just spit out more and more kids so they keep getting benefits. And of course the kids don't see any of those benefits - they still run around in dirty rags. Arrrg!

And I agree about the lack of consideration of others. People are generally mean spirited IMO. It's rare to find someone who will lift a hand to help someone else. Just the other day, I drove up to a convenience store where a service guy was working on the outside ice freezer. He was trying to move it back into place and having a heck of a time. A bunch of people walked by and didn't even look at him. So, when I asked him if he could use a hand, he was almost too surprised to answer. And it only took like 10 seconds to do.

Just thinking about all this is making my blood pressure rise!

Anyway, rant over...
