As an electrical contractor that has been ripped off by copper thieves..I enjoy it when the thieves cut into HOT wiring!
Everything they have is left there!

One of my relatives lives right near Youngstown. One of the jobs he does is close up foreclosures in Youngstown. He told me that some of the houses have been stripped clean of their copper and siding.

We had a lot of derelicts come here from all over after the hurricane looking for opportunity. I hate to admit it but the Hispanics were a welcome sight after dealing with our own home grown derelicts.

Get back to us on that when their jobs dry up...The loss of construction jobs and the increase in crime around the country isn't a coincidence.

“Yet the losers in Louisiana steal everything that is given to them by our tax dollars.”
Read the other posts. This is not a development unique to Louisiana or New Orleans. BTW, it may interest you to know that we pay taxes down here too.

Around where I live the jobs have been drying up for a while now. Most of them left. The local grocery stores have cut back on the size of their Hispanic section, which didn’t exist before Katrina. Louisiana is not exactly a haven for illegals. We are next to Texas but we have a very low population of illegals. The pay scale here is low and we have NO sanctuary citys, not even NOLA. The law enforcement here (bubba and his buddies) don’t take kindly to law breaking illegals. Jefferson Parish, which borders NOLA and was the domain of the late great Harry Lee, is particularly hard on them. They even cracked down hard on their Taco trucks.
