Judge won't make FEMA continue paying directly for hotel rooms

A few years back I had a custom home built in Argyle, TX. The builder had been in the Dallas-Fort Worth area for a number of years, working first for a big builder, and then in business for himself. One evening he told me the story about how one day in the late 1970's or early 1980's the INS swooped into the development his company had been building in Coppell, TX, and hauled off over 100 of the illegals who had been the mainstay of his work force.

The next morning he drove down into predominately-black south Dallas looking for able-bodied workers, and saw three or four strapping young men sitting on the porch of a tumbledown house. He approached them and offered them $10 per hour, 40-hours a week, payday on Fridays. The men just laughed at him, saying, "Why should we bust our butts working when our women get welfare and keep us in food and beer?" He drove around and stopped at several other houses with the same result.

Finally he called the mayor of Coppell and asked him how he could keep the INS from snatching up his workers. The mayor asked him to come over to his house, and showed him some remodeling and room addition work that he would like to have done. He said that they completed the work on the mayor's house (at no cost to the mayor, of course) in a week or two, and his company had no further difficulties with the INS.

FEMA aid is another form of welfare and like other kinds it looks like it will be forever.

The biggest foreign and domestic problems that the USA has are one and the same, WELFARE. We have people coming to this country because of the free medical care and other social programs. We have poor people here and we are importing more. Our educational system almost guarantees they will not be able to support themselves so guess who steps up with more social programs? Our country has lost its compass because of welfare.

I get very frustrated with that situation. My husband works in and out of black communities selling snack food. he is practically ambushed at every stop by able bodied black men begging for money and food.

Then we drive through certain areas and we see all these Mexicans out working.
