Bullseye. That is the reality of the situation. Southern California has essentially become a taxpayer funded orphanage for much of the unwanted excess population in Mexico and Central America. Many of the illegals and anchors subsist on low paying jobs, govt. services and the generosity of the wealthier citizens in the area.

In reality, the bus boy, fast food worker positions, gardening duties and other menials tasks they perform are more like "chores" that children are assigned rather than contributions to the economy. Just like children, they consume far more than they contribute.
