Immigrant workers in New Orleans start leaving

Josue Vega was one of thousands of immigrant workers who flocked to New Orleans in 2005 in hopes of finding a rebuilding job in the wake of Hurricane Katrina.

Workers still huddle outside Home Depot and Lowe's. Two businesses that I'm boycotting. They both contribute and sponsor LaRaza, therefore don't need my money! Our country will once again be our country, when we take a stand against all government elected officials! Don't you wish we could send money out of the country and pay no taxes on it either?

Damn.
Even immigrants don't like the "people" that live there........

[Eggy]

Too bad, they were the only people living there that were willing to put in an honest day.

well.. i am happy they are leaving. But I have to be honest, and I am sure I will be ripped for this one.. BUT>.... Why rebuild in a place below the water line?? Just doesnt make much sense. I mean we dont build on volcanoes do we?

My goal is to be here until November, and then never come back," he said. "I've had enough."

AHHH - music to my ears - now why can't all of them feel like that

[County]

I wish more of them would leave especially the ones in South Florida.

Don't let the door hit you on the as* on the way out.

What's New Orlean's secret? Share the wealth!

Don't wait until November to leave when you can leave now before ICE gets you.

You need to stop putting this **** out there that these hispanics are better workers then Americans - what kind of jerk are you??
If you were illegal immigrant you would shut up and not say a word and just work too. Trust me, when you make them citizens, they will do like everyone else in America does - wants a pay raise and better working conditions.
Quit saying this junk and hire your own country people - if you are american.

Every day!!! They build on flood plains, volcanes, hurricanes, tornadoes, earthquakes.
They don't give a darn - you have to have enough sense to see what is happening around you. I wonder - what type of fool builds a house on a hill that is prone to landslides - just go to California for one ...

Come on now, play fair! Please translate your posts for those of us who refuse to learn Spanish....but I am working on French as Canada is looking better every day. Besides I'm learning a language you actually speak in a normal manner, not like Spaaaaaaaaaaaaanish a mile a minute!

When you see that, you should immediately report that to immigration. They sometimes take those tips and show up in force and scoop as many up as possible. Make the call.

He has only two children...that's odd.
They have less children in Mexico than they do if they're in the U.S.
Could it possibly have something to do with our 14th amendment and the wealth of freebies anchors bring? LOL!

You can bet your bottom dollar, strike that, it's already in the illegals' pockets ;), that is exactly the reason that they are so darned prolific once they get here. Working the system is a greater incentive than actually working.

bye bye putitos
