I am all for them if they are working and I will tell you why.
Here in New Orleans, we had a HUGE influx of migrant workers come here after Katrina. They were some of the only people that were here to help us rebuild. I saw numerous videos on the news of locals being interviewed, and when asked why they weren't working, they said that they couldn't work, because they had to fix their house! I call BULLS#*T!!!!
They were too lazy and wanted the government to support them, the "Legals".
I worked from when I got back, not only on my house, but anyone that needed help carrying wood, painting, etc. I for one send a thanks out to every single person that picked up a hammer, or set up a taco truck.
I hope none of you ever have to go through what I saw. It was as close to a war zone as I ever want to get. The 1st 3 mo. I was back I saw fights in the grocery over food. I would get a call at 6 am and hear a voice saying the store near me had chicken. It would disappear as soon as it came in.
These illegals, brought food and fed us for pennies on the dollar, and for that I thank them!
