If Illegal Aliens Can Find New Orleans Why Can't its Citizens
We have to sit here and listen to people like Jesse Jackson complain that the Bush administration is racist and not doing enough to get the native residents back to New Orleans to fill the job opportunities that are all over the place. I have seen the street corners myself with multiple firms begging for workers. Business are only open part time because they lack the staff for full hours. Now we get this.
At a recent seminar about the rebuilding efforts, New Orleans Mayor Ray Nagin asked the crowd: "How do I ensure that New Orleans is not overrun by Mexican workers?"Forget the short sighted response which would stifle the rebuilding or the racist undertones. How is it that illegal aliens can overrun a city with law enforcement supposedly keeping them out and the native citizens of New Orleans cannot get back without government assistance?
