With the agencies giving out 4 figure debit cards to whoever stands in a refugee line, the incentive to actually work is a non starter.

That is a great idea. I thought of that one, last week, but cannot bring myself to believe that any significant percentage of those evacuees actually WANT to seek gainful employment. For many of them, it would be alien to their nature and their past count-on-Sugar-Daddy experience.

OK...lets think this through in the mind of an evacuee..
a) I sit in a hotel room, paid for by the government, watch TV, drink beer, and wait for my next check.
b) I get off my a55, go out and sweat for $7.50/hr, and start a life that involves hard work, saving, building, and growing out of my poverty.
What was the question?

Bush has shown his true colors he cares less about American citizens... as long as his elite friends in business are taken care of then we can go to hell. The drugs, violence, rape and murders continue unabated and Bush,Rove and the rest of the RINOs continue to dance happily.
Note to Bush 80% of all violent crime in Arizona involves illegal aliens.

To: hinterlander
You gotta be kidding. Illegal aliens do the work that our citizens are not willing to do. Which of them would take the outdoor, hard labor jobs that most of the illegals do? Now...I am against illegal aliens coming to this country and working....but they certainly fill a niche that our 'worthy' citizens will not fill. If there were no illegal aliens to take the low pay...employers might have to raise what they pay.
Kennedy is on the TV harumphing about 'unequal opportunity' for the poor. What a bloviating blob of blathering blubber!

option A will run out eventually. While I agree that it's an easy choice now. Just give it another month or two

These people are not going to work those jobs. They would not work them before the storm. They certainly are not going to work them now. Not with all those free federal $$$ coming their way, free handouts, free housing, free food, free clothes. Why work? The socialist government will give it to you free. That is the way it was in NO. That is the way it will remain.
The dems have been in control of NO for 100 years. That city is in ruins before the storm, economically and else-wise. The people were poor, broke, drugs, alcohol abuse, multipule children by multiple fathers. The dems had 100 years to FIX IT. But, did not. Bush is blamed for NO's poverty. Klinton was in charge for 8 years. Did he FIX NO's poverty? Atlanta's? Chicago's? NY City's? LA's? NO! A freaking government school educated person can see that, if he could get a view over the stack of free stuff, mostly given to him by big bad Wal Mart. Or looted.

Unfortunately Americans have to make enough to live on after taxes medical and other expenses. An illegal making $10 per hour under the table is in better shape than a citizen earning a taxable $12 per hour.
There also needs to be a BIG incentive for companies hiring American workers at a decent wage?

I agree jobs for those who want them. That is the US. However, most in NO seemed to rely on the mailman for a paycheck not an employeer.

EXACTLY!
ABout 30 years ago my Mother stated, "Let me control the welfare receipients. They'll be out finding a job in a SECOND!"
It involves making them WORK or starve. Period.

The illegal aliens should not be here anyhow. They are breaking the law, and the government could not be bothered to ENFORCE the law.

" give affirmative action to willing workers from Louisiana and Missisippi" what a crackpot idea, with a liberal like Bush in the Whitehouse, it'll never work.

Unfortunately the problem with many of them is NOT availability of jobs, but the incentive to actually work. The LEFT has created a subculture in this nation of people who believe someone else will always take care of them. New Orleans' problems before and after the hurricane stem from a massive pocket of people who have been kept down by the welfare culture.
These people simply won't pick lettuce or clean toilets.

I agree. With all this spending and hand-wringing over unemployed and displaced Americans, now is the best time to enat legislation to deport ILLEGAL aliens, fine their employers, and
build The Great Wall of Texas:

Back in the early days of John Englers governorship in Michigan he took a chain saw to the welfare rolls here. There was the expected screaming and crying but it worked.
I saw people who had lived on welfare for their entire adult lives scrambling to find work. In a few years those people were turning up at car dealerships to pick out new cars, talking to realtors about buying their first homes, and shopping on earned money instead of given money.
