Thread: Ike aftermath lays bare U.S. immigration paradox

In addition, volunteers from all over the US come to help in natural disasters. Illegal aliens will not lift a finger unless they are paid. Nice values eh? DEPORT THEM NOW! No excuses.

Noticed that as well.....or if many do help, they only help their own.

"Just as it was in the aftermath of Katrina, there are an awful lot of American citizens who need the work," said Mehlman. "There are a lot of people hurting in south Texas right now who could probably use the work and the paycheck."

An awful lot who showed up to work and were sent away because the illegals were there.

"People are afraid to reach out for help as they don't know if immigration (police) will detain them or not," he said.

They should be!!! Thats what happens WHEN YOU BREAK THE LAW!!!
I am tired of our government turning a blind eye to the fact that these people have BROKEN INTO OUR COUNTRY... to TAKE benefits that DO NOT BELONG TO THEM. They shouldn't be here in the first place!!

Send them home...then they won't have any thing to FEAR FROM ICE!

So they all went to work. Someone should be making sure they are all paying income taxes to the federal gov't, and if TX collects state income tax, make sure they are paying that too. If they don't have SS numbers, they should have one of those numbers illegals use IF they are paying taxes. That's why the gov't shouldn't help them with food, housing or anything else after a disaster. They don't pay in, they shouldn't take out.
