I do, too, here in MN--especially small factory jobs and farms that pay way less than minimum wage and have no benefits.
Sad to say, but "our" reasoning is that welfare programs provide a better living than these jobs. (and they do.)
Also, it is the same with our Somali population who come here and willingly work the jobs that "we" don't want.

As usual, excellent points. But I wonder how long this reasoning can hold among some people, particularly because welfare programs are being cut (and have been "reformed") and time limits are the vogue now.
