Is it because the government has said they do not need to learn english, which is a barrier toward employment. If they are a large family ( 10 + kids, remember McCollum stated the government did not realize how many children they had)  they are probably getting a decent monthly income from child tax and welfare.  over 5,000 $  monthly on child tax and welfare all tax free.Annually, that's $60,000. on child tax credit  and 20, 000+ from welfare. who needs to work? Which is more than my husband makes working 40+ hours a week at a union job he has had for 10 yrs .
