Well if it wasn't obvious then - it's more now that Goerge Bush hates Latinos.
To: beaversmom
OK, I get it now....Katrina will go down as the greatest disaster the world has ever known.
Chocolates, and Illegal Hispanics, hardest hit.

La Raza is a terrorist organization.

This hurricane has been a boon to the hispanics of the Gulf States. Just go to the Exxon at Lee Circle around eight in the morning and you'll see them lined up and ready for work at double their going rate.

Latinos paid dearly after Katrina
Yawn. So did women, blacks, homosexuals, cross dressers...everyone paid dearly except white males from what I've heard.
To: beaversmom
Some 230,000 Hispanics lived in the Gulf states when Katrina hit. Yet, no warnings to evacuate were given in any language other than English I call pants-on-fire.
There are between two and four spanish-language networks with news programs that are every bit as in-depth as anything on the english news channels. There are a generous number of spanish-language radio stations with news as well.
No one reads government announcements, they get them second-hand from the news, whether in english or spanish.
This is almost self-satire. The world ends! Minorities and women hurt worse!

Since we are not a communist country, but rather a federation of individual states, the federal government is NOT SUPPOSED TO BE IN CHARGE OF EVERYTHING.
The only people who think they should be are collectivist losers who can do nothing for themselves.

It took an organization like the National Council of La Raza to get a clear picture of how the Latino community suffered more than was originally reported. I'll just bet it did. In fact, I'll just bet they would have told us - loudly - whether it was true or not.

When the rest of the nation gets that we will be in good shape.

The number of Latinos in the affected area was more than double the amount originally thought.Somebody needs to go to remedial ESL class.

We didn't need a video showing us that the Federal Emergency Management Agency and President Bush had been briefed ahead of time about the eminent threat Katrina posed to New Orleans Hard to take them serious when they start out the report with a lie.

I notice that there is sure an awful lot of after the fact monday morning quarterbacking and criticism here, but little in the way of suggestions for solutions.
Considering that a racist group like La Raza is involved, it figures. After all children criticize, adult solve problems

The horror. Do they see bilingual signs or voter registration in anything but Spanish back home ?
To: Fighting Irish
This politics of race and identity sh+t gets old, doesn't it?
Since we treat illegals so badly, maybe they'd better just stay home.

This DID make good news, I watched Spanish News during Katrina and the Latinos conveyed to Hispanic Reporters from Latin America that they weren't getting the same treatment. No one ever mentioned in MSM here in the USA, that the Mexican Army was in NOLA for part of the cleanup. This too was big news here in Ole Mexico.
To: beaversmom
I am very sorry that our Latino citizens and legal residents suffered from the worst natural disaster to hit the U.S. As a Christian, I am also sorry that the illegals got hurt.
And I sympathize with concerns about the efficiency of aid delivery. Even in those areas where there was competent local government we are still talking about a gigantic Federal bureaucracy and we all know those have inefficiencies.
But I reject claims that we are not spending enough, we are spending billions upon billions.
And I reject efforts to use the disaster as an excuse to attach liberal social policy whether it's seizing legal guns in New Orleans or demanding affirmative action for the boards of charities.
But I'm really sorry they got hurt and I hope they recover as much as possible. The Latino community shares the traditional American work ethic so there is every reason to be hopeful.
