This maybe true but that aren't stuck on the street. As long as they don't get kicked off their reservation they always have a place to live. Even if it's a shitty shack, it's still an advantage most people don't have. If they went out and got normal jobs, they could live in normal houses off the reservation if they choose to do so.
No one is holding them back except for themselves. I'm all for helping people out that are having a bad time or are in an unfortunate place, but not if they don't try to help themselves.
