Katrina has displaced hundreds of thousands of Americans who now need food, housing, and cash. Relief for those necessities will have to be temporary and it will be many months before they can return to New Orleans, if ever, so what they need most of all is jobs.
Our government should act immediately to put these displaced Americans in the jobs now held by illegal aliens. Some 10 million illegal aliens are now working in our country, so there is no excuse for not replacing a million of them with unemployed American citizens.

My mom still lives in the inner city in DC. The McDonalds around the corner from her has nothing but Hispanic employees.

A lot of our slum dwellers don't want to do honest, hard work and will go to great lengths to avoid it.
I'm sorry, I was referring to the part of the article about illegal aliens.I posted it on the wrong reply.Sorry Again.
Our Black Americans have been pushed behind the favored race, Latinos.
You are correct. We do have enough of our own citizens who CAN do the work. But we sure have a lot who WONT. I agree with you on all points.
