Is there a spanish esp. mexican for people who sit on their asses and don't work (the poor ones not the rich ones)?

Like American South's white trash, except "brown."

Update:

More like as a class of people than an individual.

    You are getting Spanish words for "lazy," not for some equivalent to "white trash."

    Among Mexicans, "cholo" is the closest thing I can think of that means "Mexican trash." It is used by hard-working Mexican immigrants to refer to ghetto Mexican-Americans living on welfare.

    In Mexico they are called nacos and in Brazil, Caipiras.

    Look for "redneck in other countries" in google.

    "Un manta y borracho"--- lazy bum

    In Ecuador you would say:

    Caimán—Lazy person or Calzonazo—Lazy man

    In Spain: “un huevón / una huevona” – lazy person / layabout (derogatory)

    In Puerto Rico you might say: "Bambalan” – Lazy Bum

    I suppose you could say "un perezoso" (a layabout).
