Immigration became a problem when there are no jobs for the illegals and the government is running out funds for welfare.

Illegal immigration is not only a problem, it is illegal. No illegal immigrants were solicted to work at any time by FEMA. The contractors that tried to use them to save money usually got caught, fined and made it very expensive for the honest hardworking insured business to get the work. We pay alot of money to get registered to work in these areas, to include all details and legal documentation of each employee we hire. Before you start complaining, make sure you are complaining about something that is realistic. By the way, did you do any work or volunteer any service, deed or anything else? We are still in need you know or did you think it was over when the immigrants moved to another area to work? All immigrants are not illegal just because you see them on a construction site. In fact, there are many Mexican owned construction companies now, legally. I have to give them credit, they are doing a lot better than my little company.

Illegal immigration has been a problem for years. Katrina didn't have a thing to do with it. People have known and have seen the issues for years. The little trip to the streets just made it an actual visable thing that people couldn't "ignore" any longer. All the hatred and signs and false statements made people realize that what they saw and experienced was actually true and there wasn't any denying it anymore. It wasn't a "border" issue anymore. All the demands and hate made the picture crystal clear. All the people in those most hard hit areas have been screaming for years. But it's destroyed entire communities way beyond the border and people finally started saying ENOUGH!

Illegal immigration was a problem years upon years before Hurricane Katrina hit. You just were not paying attention.

I'm curious what region of the country you are from. Having lived in the region affected, I can tell you that FEMA had a problem then too. Contractors where prolific and it was very hard to make sure that you weren't being ripped off but at the same time, builders were losing contracts because they couldn't afford to pay their american workers the same low wages that some other less scrupulous contractors could.

Part of it is the goverment doesnt care. That was evident when Katrina first struck down there. The other problem is that like some people mentioned, a lot of the people dont want to help themselves. I went down during my winter break last year and most of the work was being done by the volunteers. That old entitlement mentality that likes to roar its ugly head nowadays. Dont get me wrong most of the people were very thankful but the ones who were not stuck out like a soar thumb. I think both sides need to step up.

It took the news focus off the horrid job the government was doing in the wake of Katrina.

Not true at all. Do a search for Reagan's amnesty deal. Our border has been a disaster for a very long time.
