PLAINFIELD, New Jersey (CNN) -- Enter the "Devil's Cave" by pulling aside the wooden grate beneath the porch of the abandoned suburban New Jersey home. Crawl inside to see the filthy, mismatched blankets and the garbage and empty soda and alcohol bottles strewn about. Catch your breath against the smell.
In a better time, the 8-by-12-foot cubby hole with the four-foot ceiling might have been the pride of an 8-year-old, a place to share with closest friends, a secret hideout from the neighborhood bullies.
For a group of Latin American men, the "Devil's Cave" was home for several months as they tried to find work in tough economic times. In it, they shared their misfortune and propped up one another's dignity.
"I am a victim of the economic crisis," said Demisio Flores, 44, of El Salvador. "I am not homeless, because if I could get a job I would pay my rent and continue sending money to my family."

You can prop up Miguel's dignity by forcing him to clean up his pigsty of an abode. Oh, wait, am I supposed to feel sorry for these folks that would rather live in filth and knee-deep booze bottles?
Sorry. I'm all liberal-propaganda'd out.
She's going to get a nice little $500 check from Obama and furthermore she's STILL better off here than what she left behind.
I'm sick of this crap being printed!

Anybody have a small violin?
NJ is the Devil’s Cave. It was a nice state many years ago. The NJ cancer is moving to NC.
The only humane thing we can do is secure the borders and send them all back home. It’s for the children.
I heard Starbucks was closing it’s “Devil’s Cave” location.
Is this true?
Yes I am also tired of all the pro-illegal/anti-American rat-crap published and broadcast.
The fact that this illegal alien (and all illegals) are getting money from Obama’s Billions is outright anti-American bigotry.
Was there any mention of legal or illegal immigrants?
Hmmmmmmmmmmmmmmm
Boo-friggin’-hoo. Turn yourself in to INS and get a free ride back to whatever 3rd world hellhole you came from.
Enter the Third World.
Well, yeah, maybe. A typical American 8-year old and his buddies would clean it up first, and wouldn't continue to lie around in their own garbage complaining about their victimhood. At least for another generation or two.
Didn't notice who wrote this claptrap, but back in another depression many years ago, this type of writing was always attributed to "sob-sisters".
Lotsa alcohol bottles and semi-private latrines around, eh?
World's smallest violin playing "Hearts and Flowers".
Totally. These guys are pigs and wallowing in their invented sorrow.
Who taught them to say “I am grateful to the community for their help”?
They don’t talk like that They thank the person who helped them and are oblivious to the word, especially in english, community.
