==================================
Carrying water treatment plants, mobile kitchens and supplies to feed victims of Hurricane Katrina, the (Mexican) army convoy bound for Houston will be the first Mexican military unit to operate on U.S. soil since 1846.The convoy has "a very high symbolic content," said Javier Oliva, a political scientist at Mexico's National Autonomous University. "This is a very sensitive subject, for historic and political reasons."
Yup.
Help graciously offered is gratefully accepted. Period.
I've been very encouraged at the outpouring of offers from around the world. The instinct to help others is alive and well, and proves that America does in fact have many friends.
Keep the aid. Withdraw your invading masses instead. We don't want to become a third world colony, thank you.
I very much appreciate the help from Mexico and I'm happy that they cannot read some of the ungracious comments on this thread.
Take 11 million of your people back, we need jobs for the evacuees. And as Citizens, they'll get paid a decent and LEGAL wage for the work!
Temporary ego relief.
You're not alone, Dadofmany. Responses such as the ones we're reading here are disturbing and uncalled for on FR. Thank you for speaking out.
Let me add my thanks to Mexico for their help.
Exactly. :)
We do need it since we do not longer produce much here in the usa any longer. Now that we have out sourced most of our wealth producing industries we are no longer able to provide the products needed to recover and must go begging to the rest of the world for help. Now not only is the usa the greatest debtor nation in the world we are now also the greatest begger nation in the world. Thankyou free traders!

Did Bush send them the money to fund the operation?? (/sarcasm) -- will this be a political windfall for the pro-illegal Washingtonians??? (OMG, yes!)
since we do not longer = since we no longer
Symbolic, but I appreciate the gesture.
Damn, could they detour through this part of AZ, with that menu, I to am a Katrina victim.
Just make sure we load their trucks with illegals before they head back to Mexico.

Will they be given priority in hiring to rebuild their own towns and cities?
Hey, at least the Mexicanos will be cooking food. Many of those folks from the ghetto have spent way too much time at the Golden Arches, so some home cooked Cabrito can't be all that bad.
Many of these evacuees have never worked an honest month in their life. You could put a gun to our underclass and many would still refuse to work.
Your right about Irag and it makes me mad too, but right at this moment people are in need!
You are slamming them hard.
