You're right. They probably have wonderful, clean, safe homes, refrigerators full of healthy food, clean water, medicine, families who love them, jobs that pay a fair wage and an honest government...who WOULDN'T leave that for NO HOME (ie. homeless duh!) and having to resort to living in the woods in Huntington. What a LOOOOOSER you are BILL :-P

Why do we have to go to other countries for these chronicles?

We have them right here in our own neighborhoods, our own island, our own state and our own country.

People (American citizens) are prostituting themselves and living in abandoned houses in Philadelphia. On Long Island, they are paying rent to live in taxi cabs.

When is this country going to stop playing games and deal with the poor and destitute of their own citizens?

Lori, people like you have to wake up!

Mexico is a RICH country. The worlds 2nd richest man lives there. They get rich by sending their people out to suck the money from us so they don't have to pay for anything. They also get rich by pumping their filthy drugs into this country as a thank you.

You're right Bill, it's embarrassing how stupid our people are in falling for this bs. Mexico is having a good laugh at our expense.

You know how many homeless Americans there are in Mexico? I don't, but wouldn't you all love to know?

I would have been impressed if Goldman had simply cooked the meals for the homeless and not added the photography angle. In doing this, he was helping himself, probably more than his once-a-week meal duty helped those homeless people. Self-serving disguised as a good deed is inexcusable. I'm also wondering if Goldman should win a Pulitzer, will he share the prize with the homeless people who took the photos?

Carlos Helu might be rich, but I'm guessing it doesn't trickle down to the guys living in the woods, si???

Stop hiring them to mow your lawns and maybe they will go home to their wives and children.If only they could give birth, they to can get housing, medical, schooling and welfare checks too. I do feel sorry for them, but they need to wait on line like the other millions trying to get here legally. These illegals are really straining america and really if you really want to hand away money. Try our senior citizens they are really finding it hard to get by. The high cost of housing, taxes, food, oil is really taking it's toll. Most don't have food in their refrigator. They aren't buying cell phones or Nike sneakers.
How come when they cross our borders none of them look they are starving or abused? Open my home, no way, I will donate money to drive them to the border! I will open my house to a senior who worked their whole life and now in their golden yrs cant afford to eat.On Long Island they are proposing to close nursing homes. Yet we continue to support anchor babies and their mothers! disgusting.

Better to light one candle than to curse the darkness. Mr. Goldman's activity definitely brought light into the dark world of these homeless people. Thats right PEOPLE! When we begin to see others in need as fellow human beings, formed by the same supreme being, we will have elevated our own status. An attitude of fear and hate keeps those who endorse it in the gutter, no matter where they live!!!

Point. Snap.
You've got to be kidding me. Teaching them how to use disposable cameras!
Rob, you need a life. I just hope nobody is paying you for this. Watching those people stare, and point at those pictures, analyzing if you will, was actually comical.
How to express themselves through photography! Please, how about express themselves with a job! Landscapers are always looking for laborers; have them express themselves with a rake and shovel.
Unbelievable! Only NewsRag would cover this non-story.

So now we have proof there are illegals in Huntington. Exactly when is the Government going to get involved and get rid of them. Goldman has proof, does that make him guilty of harboring illegals? He makes breakfast for these people. How about letting them make their own breakfast's so at least they contribute something to society.

What's great about it? It shows what a dump the illegasl have turned Huntington Station into. Nice picture at the hiring site, too bad it didn't show the 100 in the street. Homeless AMERICANS need our help. NOT illegals aliens that are destroying everything.

Youv'e got that right!!!Get rid of the illegals and the unemployement rate for "Americans" will drop!!! Our streets will be safer and our tax dollars will be used to benefit the "Taxpayers"!!! Wake Up and look around...is this the same Long Island you remember from 25 yrs. ago? The illegals have turned this once lovely Island into a CESSPOOL!!!

BOO HOO--ILLEGAL ALIENS HAVE HOMES, THEY ARE IN MEXICO PREDOMINANTLY AND CENTRAL AMERICA. THEY CHOSE TO COME HERE. THE SAME WOULD BE TRUE FOR ME, IF I CHOSE WITH NO MONEY TO GO TO ANOTHER COUNTRY, WHERE WOULD I LIVE. MY OWN STUPIDITY WOULD BE TO GO TO ANOTHER COUNTRY WITH NO PLACE TO LIVE. LET THEM GO BACK HOME TO SUNNY MEXICO, WORK ON BUILDING THAT COUNTRY THEIR OWN COUNTRY UP AND NOT RUN AND REAP FROM US EVERYTHING THEY CAN. STAY IN YOUR OWN COUNTRY AND MAKE IT BETTER YOU IDIOTS. WHAT ARE YOU NOT UNDERSTANDING!!! I FOR ONE AM NOT BUYING INTO THE SYMPATHY ANGLE.

Today I went to the vincents pizzeria in Ronkoma was an x vet selling flags to get by. I gave him a few dollars and he insisted I take a flag and pin. I refused and told him to sell it to another. He was soo sweet and "God blessed me." My point is that there are enough seniors, vets AMERICANS that are really hurting due to our economy. These illegals need to go and american needs to take care of our elderly americans.
