You cant, its the curse of being born into privilege.
But therein you have cited the problem. Fortune favors the willing, not those who have become comfortably complacent. Its the law of the universe. Keep in mind, they too got complacent once and lost their land to invading underdogs.
Good catch on the typo, yes we will have to ring some other immigrants to satisfy your sweet tooth for immigrant deserts.
Its nothing short of stupid to think that mexcians are subsidized, they are only here because we want them to subsidize our lives. Thats why we hire them, (they are not employing themselves {like Chinese do}) When a mexican is hunched over all day to pick strawberries, what he is really doing is subsidizing our strawberries so they can remain at $.99cents a pint. If we were to use $10 an hour labor each pint would be $5 and above.
We only use them so that we dont have to pay for fringe benefits and give them our standard of life. So you could say that the handout you are speaking of is really to the farmer.
