I agree with you.
However, most people realize that humanity should rescue anyone human and ask questions later, after they've received emergency treatments, helps and such.
I am betting what is at stake here is not emergency-level helps, however (like food, shelter, clothing on a short term rescue basis) but PROPERTY and OWNERSHIP of property issues like mortgages, "free" or reduced cost replacement housing from FEMA (new trailers!) and educational financing and things of that nature. Those and the prize of "amnesty" is the goal here...
They want some blanket excuse for their illegal behavior because there was a hurricane...I guess that means that Americans can now go to Mexico City and get free houses and health care and food and property and voting rights because our cars broke down in Cabo. Ooops, "were destroyed by natural forces" in Cabo.
And I suppose this also means that all those warrants outstanding for all those out of New Orleans and related for crimes can now just "disappear." They're now deemed "legal" and blameless by Hillary's magic wand in the Senate?
If not, why not?

Those and the prize of "amnesty" is the goal here...Below I've posted an excerpt about what aid is (and is not) available for illegal aliens. Given what Bush has done to almost ensure that the rebuilding on the gulf coast will be done by illegals, I believe that the following shows the administration is talking out of both sides of its mouth.
September 20, 2005 - The Department of Homeland Security recently announced that immigrants [never, ever call an illegal alien an illegal alien!] have no immunity from deportation when providing information required to receive federal aid. "The administration's priority is to provide needed assistance: water, food, medical care, shelter," said Joanna Gonzalez, a DHS spokeswoman. "However, as we move forward with the response, we can't turn a blind eye to the law." In his national address Thursday, President Bush read off a list of services that the estimated 40,000 Mexicans and 150,000 Hondurans who lived in the New Orleans area cannot get: checks from Social Security, mail delivery by the Postal Service, money to rent apartments and temporary trailer homes.
Jacob Prado, who is coordinating relief efforts for the Mexican Embassy, distributed cash and airline tickets in and around Biloxi to Mexican citizens wishing to return home, an embassy spokesman said.

[HILLARY CLINTON}Saul Alinsky and DNC Corruption
Diane Alden Jan. 7, 2003
[...]
Indeed, Alinsky wrote the rule book for '60s radicals like Bill and Hillary Clinton, George Miller and Nancy Pelosi. He considered Hillary Rodham to be one of his better students and asked her to join him in his efforts as an organizer of radical leftist causes. But Hillary had other fish to fry on her climb to national prominence.
Alinsky had a true genius for formulating tactical battle plans for the radical left. He wrote two books outlining his organizational principles and strategies: "Reveille for Radicals" (1946) and "Rules for Radicals" (1971).
"Rules for Radicals" begins with an unusual tribute: "From all our legends, mythology, and history (and who is to know where mythology leaves off and history begins – or which is which), the first radical known to man who rebelled against the establishment and did it so effectively that he at least won his own kingdom – Lucifer."
The devil challenged authority and got his own kingdom, and that goes to the heart of what left is really about. That of course is to get power any way you can, including lying, cheating and stealing. The ultimate rule is that the ends justify the means.
Alinsky asserted that he was more concerned with the acquisition of power than anything else: "My aim here is to suggest how to organize for power: how to get it and how to use it." This is not to be done with assistance to the poor, nor even by organizing the poor to demand assistance: "[E]ven if all the low-income parts of our population were organized ... it would not be powerful enough to get significant, basic, needed changes."
[Hillary's mentor] Alinsky advises his followers that the poor have no power and that the real target is the middle class: "Organization for action will now and in the decade ahead center upon America's white middle class. That is where the power is. ... Our rebels have contemptuously rejected the values and the way of life of the middle class. They have stigmatized it as materialistic, decadent, bourgeois, degenerate, imperialistic, war-mongering, brutalized and corrupt. They are right; but we must begin from where we are if we are to build power for change, and the power and the people are in the middle class majority."
But that didn't stop [Hillary's mentor]Alinsky and his followers from using the middle class for their own purposes. They counted on the guilt and shame of the white middle class to get what they wanted. In order to take over institutions and get power, the middle class had to be convinced that they were somehow lucky winners in "life's lottery."
Alinsky's radicals found a perfect vehicle for their destruction of the American system and more particularly for taking and maintaining power. That instrument was the Democratic Party.
Transition and Transaction
The transition of the old Democratic Party to what exists today should not surprise or confound conservatives. Nor should Alinsky's tactics seem foreign. After all, for nearly 40 years, Republicans and the conservative agenda have been getting hammered by the left through the successful use of Alinsky tactics.
Wise up, Americans.
