    Latina vs. Luntz Group: I Came To U.S. To Work, People Coming Are Taking Welfare And Not Working

    A Frank Luntz focus group on President Trump's address to a joint session of Congress erupted when a first generation Latina immigrant said she came to America for an opportunity but people who come to the U.S. now "they have [a] kid and they start collecting money."

    "The problem here is that, you know, anybody comes in they have kid and they start collecting money," she said. "That's every single person that I know, that's what they did."

    "I go to schools everyday," a black panel member said." "White people are on welfare."

    "I don't care about white people," the Latina woman said. "My point is we came here for an opportunity and not handouts."

    Transcript from the CBS News focus group helmed by Luntz:

    FRANK LUNTZ: You're Latina right?

    WOMAN: Yes.

    LUNTZ: Did you vote for him?

    WOMAN: Yes.

    LUNTZ: Are you first generation here?

    WOMAN: Yes.

    LUNTZ: Where were you born?

    WOMAN: Guatemala.

    LUNTZ: And yet you support him.

    WOMAN: Yes.

    LUNTZ: Tell me why.

    WOMAN: For jobs. I came here because I wanted an opportunity, not a hand out.

    And the problem here is that, you know, anybody comes in they have kid and they start collecting money. That's every single person that I know, that's what they did.

    MAN: But there are a lot of other people here.

    WOMAN: Yes, there is a lot of -- yeah. I don't have any kids and I didn't collect.

    MAN: -- who are in school, or in the military.

    WOMAN: I haven't collected.

    MAN: Right. And neither have these people. They're working.

    WOMAN: No. But the minority is.

    MAN: I don't believe that's true.

    WOMAN: Well go to school and ask who has the benefits. Go into the schools.

    BLACK WOMAN: I go to schools everyday. White people are on welfare.

    LATINA WOMAN: I don't care about white people.

    BLACK WOMAN: Right, you don't care.

    LATINA WOMAN: My point is we came here for an opportunity and not handouts.

    So the black woman in the group was more concerned about what white people had/have, and the Latina was more concerned about takers and givers, regardless of race.
