Skippy, a large percentage (a majority?) of homless are either mentally ill or addicted to substances...they wouldn't be of much help.

The majority of welfare receipients already work for a living, or are unable to work. While there are freeloaders I think you're placing a little too much into a well worn stereotype.

Remember that a lot of money earned by illegal workers is sent home, which is why they're here in the first place!

Have you ever seen the shanty towns outside of cities in California that house migrant workers?

The only way to get Americans to do the work is either provide a living wage or enslavement...there's a balance already that will be difficult to upset.
