When you're wiped out of home and all worldly possessions, one would expect some eagerness rebuild and move on - at any cost, "substandard" be damned. And yes, that may involve "construction" work which appears to be beneath many of those in NO who sit back and refuse to do the work now done by illegals. I fail to see where anyone can condemn anyone willing to do work others see beneath them, especially when it is to repair/construct damage by natural disasters. The idea that there is a standard that some must adhere to while refusing the put their lives back together is beyond me.
Get my facts straight? I get my info from national news outlets, MSM included. No, I haven't been there to see for myself like i haven't jumped off a cliff to see the results of the sudden stop in the end.
The hoity-toity attitude about construction work seems a bit over the top. Who hasn't done construction work or have family in construction?
I stand by what I said in relation to this story. The lazy SOBs sitting in their fat hind ends deserve to be criticized for work they refuse to do. Let those who are willing do the job and get paid for it, more the better.
That's different than saying that the illegals are "doing work that AMERICANS refuse to do".
I objected to your blanket quote of that propagandist statement.
And my objection remains.
(And "hoity-toity attitude about construction work"? How the heck did you manage to read that into my response?)
