The One-Two Sucker Punch of Katrina and then Rita will change not just the economic but also the social picture of America's Southern states.

And not just for decades, but forever.

With the president's removing most of the legal hurdles for employers to now hire illegal aliens without an identity check, these states (being the closest to Mexico) will now become even more of an enclave for all of South Americans than the Western states have become over the past forty years.

And it will happen in less than five.

=======================================

Although workers in the United States must provide employers with verification of legal residency when applying for jobs, the demands for cheap labor are so great that the law is routinely skirted.

"We're useful, and they pay us cheap," said Garcia, who, along with his roommates, earned $7 an hour doing janitorial work at the Beau Rivage Resort and Casino, which was severely damaged when Katrina made landfall Aug. 29.

Open the compassionate public coffers to all of South America, we're in the midst of a population boom . .

=========================================

Some (Illegal alein) immigrants are expecting to receive federal help because of a little-known program that allows undocumented parents to apply for FEMA aid through their U.S.-born children.

Please point me to a reference. I was not aware of this.

Folks - we've got maybe a year to fourteen months to wrestle our nation out of the tentacles of the Underground Economy.

What does J.D. Hayworth have to say about all of this?

Hayworth said he hopes the Enforcement First legislation "will serve as a rallying point for the overwhelming majority of Americans that are dedicated to creating an effective, commonsense approach to immigration.

If we leave this issue to the powerful self-interest groups in Washington, the opportunity to heal and strengthen our broken immigration system will be lost for generations and perhaps forever," Hayworth said.

It isnt that I dont have empathy for human suffering no matter what race. But with accusations of President Bush not liking blacks, and now accusations coming from illegal Mexican workers that we wont help them I am getting a bit sick of this crap. Where does it end. Everybody has their hand out and they have come to expect it to get filled.

Insurance companies are crawfishing on their debts to policyholders and it seems the pockets of the Federal Government is expected to pay for the whole mess.

Now this story of Carlos running out in the middle of the storm with no shoes and nothing but the clothes on his back is a good story all right, but what part of evacuate did Carlos not understand? Now we are supposed to buy Carlos, who should have been in Mexico, a new car so he can go to work. Why not?

Why America won't deport illegal aliens . .

=====================================

How would you like to take 300,000 to 1 odds on immigration reform?

N.C. congresswoman: Why does state have one deportation officer? (Resident killed by illegal alien.)
(click)

Though North Carolina has an estimated 300,000 illegal immigrants, the state has one federal deportation officer who's among fewer than 10 people in the state who work for Detention and Removal Operations, a unit of ICE.

300,000 -to- 1

"Mississippi Immigrant Rights Alliance, which is scrambling to find temporary housing for the undocumented."

What? We have organizations to help the undocumented?? That should be against the law!
When the next Atta needs help, I guess they will reach out to assist him in his hour of need.

I am outraged by this....seems I am outraged by much as of late.

Let these illegals go back to Mexico if they want aide. You are not American citizens so you don't have any rights! You don't get any of my money! If you don't like the conditions go home!! If you like the conditions, go home!!! Post hurricane NO should make you homesick anyway. Did I mention GO HOME!!!

The uncaring nature of this post is just too much for me to bear. These poor soles would be much better off in Hyannisport where, judging by their statements over the years, they would be extremely well received by the locals. The illegality of their presence would undoubtedly be overlooked too as the folks in Barnstable County have ignored illegality before.

"...Many Katrina victims lost their documents in the storm, according to the Dept. of Homeland Security."

~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~

Good! Anyone who has ever lost a wallet knows that their documentation can be replaced. So long as they are who they say they are, they can get it back. A hassle surely, but doable. Of course, if you're not here legally........

It's not fair," Garcia said from outside a moldy-smelling apartment he shares with four other men.

Federal aid should be applied "evenly" to all who suffered from the hurricane, regardless of immigration status, Garcia said, "because we're human."

WRONG.............fair is treating our law abiding CITIZENS equally. Criminals (You) should have no benefits other than a frickin bus ride back to the border!

Carlos and other illegals caught in the recent storms should learn from their experience. Go home. No one sent for you. You committed a criminal act to get here. America has no obgligation to you of any kind.

Carlos and his kind should be given a good hot meal, a packed lunch and a ticket back to Mexico or wherever.

"Mississippi Immigrant Rights Alliance, which is scrambling to find temporary housing for the undocumented."

Private persons and entities may initiate civil suits to obtain injunctions and treble damages against enterprises that conspire to or actually violate federal alien smuggling, harboring, or document fraud statutes, under the Racketeer-Influenced and Corrupt Organizations (RICO). The pattern of racketeering activity is defined as commission of two or more of the listed crimes. A RICO enterprise can be any individual legal entity, or a group of individuals who are not a legal entity but are associated in fact, AND CAN INCLUDE NONPROFIT ASSOCIATIONS.

To whom should this violation of the latter be reported?

If you are only referring to border reform as by a government, no chance, but, if you are saying 300,000 to 1 that the borders will be closed to illegals by some means other than the weak kneed spinelss legends in their own minds in Washington and state captials. YOU ARE ON!
