I hate amnesty, but this is a situation where, if no Americans are heading down there to work, we'd need a guest worker program to rebuild the area.

Let's face it- part of the illegal immigration problem is our government. But another part is that the American people have gotten too darn lazy.

Same thing happened in 2004 with Hurricane Ivan in Pensacola area. Many Mexican workers came LEGALLY and helped rebuild the area. Those guys worked like dogs 7 days a week, 16 hours a day. Would still be a disaster area if they hadn't shown up.

Most local companies just wanted to reap huge profits by quadrupling their prices.

There are plenty of Americans coming down here to work. The area is jam packed with people from all over the country. The best thing is that hundreds, probably thousands of Christians from all sorts of churches are coming down here and volunteering through local churches. I was at one church the other day that has volunteers lined up for the rest of the year.
