The Democrat plan is to make them all welfare people. In NYC they get a luxury Manhattan hotel room, free cell phone, free monthly money, free health care and food buying assistance. Under Trump, Obama and prior if you made it to this country illegally you were on your own. The blue states are making them welfare people while the homeless wack jobs get little.
Canada and some blue states are rushing to say criminals are mentally ill so they can shut them up with all the freebies of welfare if they behave.
I live in NJ and what I have seen are the Mexicans that came over with no assistance from the government worked like dogs and many are doing well. They would stand on a street corner and roofers, house framers, painters, handy men and landscapers would pick them up for work for cash. When they learned the business they would open their own business doing the same. I see them all the time in my retirement job coming in with fantastic cars and their own work trucks.
