I was in the left lane of the exit ramp, stopped at the light. Next to me was a guy with a sign “stranded, hungry, please help.” I felt a bit awkward. It is hard for me not to help someone who asks for it, but I have gotten tired of people begging.
After I got going again I drove past a gas station. In front of the gas station were a couple of men, I am assuming they were Mexican, hoping someone would come by and offer them some work.
I think beggars will make me feel less awkward in the future.
I will also remember this story next time I have to listen to some blowhard complaining about illegal immigrants. They are illegal because our laws are written by idiots.
