[quote=Anonymous]Why does this, as everything on DCUM, turn into immigrants?  There are PLENTY of hard working people--US Citizens--who dont make $40k/year!  So they live in basement apartments or share houses because they have to in order to live.  These are not illegal immigrants who are living with 10 other family members.

We know someone who is an employee of Fairfax County Schools--instructional aide--who makes under $30k.  Likely under $25k.  Someone who is teaching your children every day in a "nice" school.  This person is a single mother who lives in a basement apartment (in a single family house in a nice neighborhood) with her child because that is what she can afford.  Her child is likely on free/reduced lunch.  Many of you posters would look at her child, living in a nice house in a nice neighborhood with a white American mother who works at a nice school and not even think twice about their having "money".

It's not just teachers.  Fairfax County police officers--starting salary is under $50k.  If you are married with children, that puts you under the limit for free/reduced lunch in fairfax county.  So the nice police officer who you spoke with the other day--they are someone else you wouldn't think to be on reduced lunch but they are.

The list goes on of people you think are nice, upstanding members of society and would NEVER think have to live in someone's basement/with roommates, and would NEVER have to sign their kid up for free/reduced lunch, but they do.[/quote]
