Video Essay: Living Under the Vegas Lights

A growing number of homeless people are now living in the miles of tunnels that run under the glitz and glamor of Las Vegas. As the AP's Jae Hong explains, many have to deal with flooding in the winter and extreme heat in the summer. (Jan. 4)

Eh, I say if Illegal Immigrants can travel through hundreds of miles of desert to work and persevere hard enough to make do with a passable living situation, I don't see why these guys can't.

That's RIGHT by the Palms casino where I used to work, it was probably one of these motherfucking lazy whiny bums that flung a rock at my windshield and cracked it while it sat in employee parking. White trash vermin. Oh, and you never see "illegals" with their hands out begging for change, they go and look for work. These crybabies are everywhere
