Volunteers respond in ‘time of crisis’

Volunteers have given everything from diapers to legal advice to families affected by the Pilgrim’s Pride immigration arrests in April.

More than 15 organizations have donated about $50,000 in food and rent money to help the arrested immigrants and their families, according to members of the Hispanic Displacement Relief Coalition, a group created in response to the arrests.

“(The agencies) have come together to try to help them in some way, a minimum effort because the need is too big,â€

And who organizes these relief efforts for native-born U.S. workers and their families when they are replaced by younger and lower-wage foreign workers? Nadia!

[quote]Still, the organizations are struggling to provide everything that’s needed, Mrs. Rangel said.

“We are still looking, we are still working, to find more funds and donations to help these families,â€

The hispanics are there to care for their own but not all that charitable when it comes to the other people in need who live here. I stopped donating when I found my donations were going to illegals and needy citizens were turned away.

For a while I was bombarded by begging letters from the Catholic charities since my last name is Irish. I was especially astounded when one offered me a credit card so that a portion of my spending at stores would go to that charity. This stuff the Catholics are pulling these days is disgusting.

That is going overboard.

We need to each do everything we can to raise the discomfort level for illegals.

There is no discussion.

Illegals have to leave our country!!!

Where oh where is the lamenting over all of the American citizens who had their social security numbers violated and their identities stolen? These are the real victims, and yet the news media of the special interests is always pleading the cases of those who steal from Americans and ruin their lives.

Ephesians 4:32

One more thought. I haven't heard a world of these "volunteers" doing anything for the people of New Orleans after Katrina. Correct me if I am wrong.

SEND CHARITY AND ILLEGAL CRIMINAL ALIENS OUT OF AMERICA;

NO MORE TOLERANCE FOR ILLEGALS IN THE UNITED STATES.

I HAVE GIVEN WAY TO MUCH; TO EVEN CARE IF THEY WALK, CRAWL OR TAKE A BUS OUT OF AMERICA.

ICE - DEPORT THEM

GOVERNMENT JAIL THE EMPLOYERS AND GIVE THEM VERY HEAVY FINES TO PAY.
