What about helping legal aliens?

After taking almost a year to come up with over $1000 to get a permanent resident alien card the legal way, my friend is now having great difficulty finding work. He is a hard worker, did work as mason, painter and plasterer, has a foreign license for youth soccer coaching. I know he is unable to avail himself of governmental "hand-out" programs, so does anyone out there in Y!Answers land have any advice for him? He has come from near poverty to this so called "land of opportunity" determined to make it, but now is reaching the bottom. I am ignorant of what can be done to help him, so that is why I am turning to Y!Answers for him.

Answer:
From the pit to the palace. Tell your friend dont worry it just takes time. One of the most important thing to do is go back to school which will open up a lot of opportunities for you. Either getting you GED, going to trade school or even college do something that you love then use those strengths and help other immigrants like you. Dont get involve in the getting rich quick schemes, but hard work and determination will pay off.
Your right! I say we give away a get in free card to everyone and the taxpayer gives out a $5000 start up fee to make you feel at home. How come we make differences for illegal aliens.

For those who do not know the above was sarcasm.

You are however right, if it is fair to give everything to illegals then why shouldn't the ones who obeyed the rules be rewarded?
Unfortunately illegal aliens make it very hard for our legal guests to find work. Why pay a legal worker, when you can pay an illegal criminal alien below minimum wage?
exactly, how many Americans do you think are having trouble finding work, blame this on illegals, i am glad your friend came legally and tell him to just keep looking, something will come along hopefully.
I am confused about this whole thing... one of the reasons that the government gives for doing this for illegal aliens in the first place is that there is a supposed "shortage of workers" in the US. Where do they get that info? Or is it that the unemployed people here don't want jobs that pay so little?
Was he here "illegally" to begin with?
I am sorry for your friend, but where does all this end
Hate to say it but a couple of "humans" on this forum seem to be very bitter about the topic. So since they won't arise above ignorance I apologize for the fools who only know how to destroy progress!

"Wow.no one so far has negatinely commented"

I might be proved wrong this morning. But seriously doubt it!
Keep on working , you gotta earn it,,one day his ship will come in,,,,,,
that angers me, people like him are legal and they are having a hard time finding work. tell him to try out the meat processing plants. good luck to him, and god bless.
any assistance he is offered he should take til he can help get on his feet.it is very hard out there even 4 us born here.what about the employment office ?the news papers always advertise jobs available.schools colledges.his past education should help him he should use it.way labor work when he can help our youth believe me they need help.his mind is his tool so use it.and educate in the way he is best at teaching.it is most rewarding as i know he already knows.if he gives of himself he will be getting also.hope god will shine down on him in his quest.he will succeed.take care chow 4 now.again best of luck.
tell him to go to school. thats what we all do.
So who said it was easy. Even American citizens are having hard time finding the right job.
There are always jobs available if you really want to work. They might not be what you like, but at least it keeps you pliant till something does show up.
your friend will make it. he doesnt need a government hand out. he might have to move to a town where his skills are in more demand. is hes in construction, then he can make money. tell him good luck.
