Roger that, I grew up in a very small area, population around 2,500 or so. My best friend's parents nationalized legally, and both worked two jobs. They had three kids, two sons and one girl. The boys both went onto pursue college which they paid for, one became a petroleum engineer, the other is a physical therapy tech, and the girl married a Marine and I think she stays at home with the little ones.
From what I understand, none of them have ever received any sort of state or federal sponsored assistance, and all three have strong moral character which was instilled from a very early age.
This of course could be the exception to the rule, but it's what I base my understanding off of regarding legal immigrants versus illegal cheats.
