***or to rebuild New Orleans***
That's not true.
Laura Ingraham told a story of a company who had to let American workers (mostly African-Americans) go because they were told they had to employ the low-wage workers from Mexico. The lady who owned the agency was crying because she didn't want to lay them off.
The ones really being hurt by this are the young black men.
Won't it be ironic if the Democrats gain the Mexican voters but lose the black base because of this. I also know the african-American community is PO'd that many are equating this event to slavery.
"Laura Ingraham told a story of a company who had to let American workers (mostly African-Americans) go because they were told they had to employ the low-wage workers from Mexico. The lady who owned the agency was crying because she didn't want to lay them off. "
My reaction? "Yeah, right."
Well your Laura Ingraham, for Brit Hume, who reported that jesses jackson went on a bus tour of cities of where Katrina evacuees went to get them to come back to New Orleans to take good paying jobs to rebuild.
In St. Louis he got three people, 2 of them spoke spanish.
"The ones really being hurt by this are the young black men."
Tell that to my 53 year old white husband, who has been in the construction trade for over 25 years. Who has seen his wages decline and stagnate over the last 6 years or better. Just when we should be getting ready for retirement we're being driven into poverty instead.
