I have a serious bf I’ve been with for nearly a year now. I am 22, he is 21.
When I met him he had a niche job (the sort you don’t come by easily), and was making plenty of money. He lost that.
Since then he hasn’t held down a job (he’s had 3 in 9 months, none of which
lasted more than 3 weeks). He hasn’t got any qualifications outside of his old job (horse racing).
He currently works like 20 hours at his parents shop, and manages to pay all his own bills (car, insurance, mobile phone, horse shares). He however practically lives at mine, stays over every night of the week, eats the food that I mostly buy (he occasionally buys himself something, but it’s always enough for only him).
He has never once asked me for money, and I have offered it to him, but no matter how bad his situation has been he’s never accepted, and his bills are always paid on time.
I have recently found out that he quit applying for jobs months ago. I sat down with him and tried to sort out his resume and apply for jobs, but he treated it as a joke, and kept coming up with reasons for why he shouldn’t apply (things like “oh i’m too young, they won’t take me”). I’m not syure if he genuinly thinks he isn’t suitable for work or if he just doesn’t want to.
I have a strong suspicion he enjoys working 4 hours of a morning, going to the gym, then watching cartoons/horse racing at his parents before coming over to mine and getting fed/having sex. He has also said he will only take a job if it doesn’t interfere with his bodybuilding (ie – his 90 mins at the gym every day).
I’m also concerned that his horse bills (he has shares in 8 horses, none of which are good) are going to take over. He manages to pay them, but he really only gets the money through gambling money he actually earns. He pays about $500 a month in horse bills.
I’m scared that if I stay with him, it’s going to be a future of him taking care of himself, and never being able to be part of a couple.

So, in most places that I read about the escalating problem of illegal immigrants in our country (I’m aware it’s been like this for quite a long time and it’s not a recent thing), I really don’t know what to believe since a lot of people affiliated with the both the Democrat and Republican parties both seem intent on spreading as much misinformation as possible about how illegals really affect our country. What I want to find out is what are the actual pros and cons of allowing them to continue to stay here. For me personally, it doesn’t make sense to let all the needy coming in from all these different countries sneak in and we get to take care of them when our own people and economy need to be taken care of. Also, it just seems like a slap in the face to the immigrants who persevere and come in legally and when illegals put their personal (sometimes incredibly saddening) situations above our own system and laws, it just diminishes the value of those laws we put in place and makes it seem like big joke that we even have them in the first place.
Despite how it affects me emotionally, I appreciate the truth and facts a lot more so I can think rationally about it. So, what are the real pros and cons of the current presence of illegals in our country? How does it benefit the Democratic and Republican parties? How does it benefit the American people as a whole? As for a solution, I’m not really sure what will eventually happen, but it needs to happen fast. The situation is getting way out of control all the while Congress bickers and points the finger of blame at each other and neglecting to just sit down with each other and form a solution that every one can agree and compromise on. What would be your solution to the immigration problem?
P.S. If it means anything, you could consider me an independent (though I don’t really care for labels much). Also, if you’d be so kind as to provide sources for any claims you make, that would be much appreciated.
