I'd still like a question answered. Why are white people okay with their ancestors illegally immigrating, stealing land, spreading disease, ruining cultures and languages, having anchor babies, massacring locals, and in fact hail these people as heroes, yet the thought of a Mexican coming north to work is an atrocity of the highest sort that must be stopped at all costs, to you people?

Which immigration laws were broken? Which land was stolen?
Can you cite the law verbatim? Can you provide proof of land ownership?
In order for something to be stolen, it must first be owned.
Your racism is shining through.

Zoltan,
Please don't tell me to deny my ignorance, when you're buying into the BS about welfare, New Orleans, taxation, and of course "Americans speak English." Further, when you spend your time blathering rhetoric on these topics without a single shred of proof beyond your assumption that righteous indignation speaks for itself, don't then turn around and demand others "back it up" when they tell you you're full of it.
Please, do show me concrete evidence that every person left behind in New Orleans is an ignorant, though-free, lazy bum incapable of functioning as an independent human being.
... read up on where Homeland Security spends anti-terror funds across our nation. Places that terrorists would actually be interested in aren't covered, while midwestern hee-haw cracker-barrel bull# gets billions worth of funding, in total, to give towns of 1,300 SWAT equipment, to buy coast-guard grade boats for landlocked counties, and yes - to protect bean festivals, high school stadiums, and the like, all through the midwest. This is welfare with a dash of bribery. Yet what do you go on about? New Orleans. What's the difference between a Mule parade in western Tennessee, and a major city smashed by a storm in southern Louisiana? Well for one, spending buckets of tax dolalrs for the first is a great idea, and doing the same for the second is the height of evil.
... Race. I notice that you do not give a damn about the emergency aid provided to white bread trailer-towns smacked by tornadoes, or by ice storms, or the federal dollars spent to protect the Kangaroo Conservation Center in Dawsonville, Ga. from terrorists, but you get up in arms when it comes to providing relief for the residents of a major port city that got devastated by a direct hit from a massive hurricane - most of the people in the first category are white. Most of the second... aren't.
While I'm looking at these numbers, the Department of Health and Human Services commands $67.650 billion, or 2.33% of the total budget. Clearly, CLEARLY this is what's breaking our nation apart at the seams, don't you agree? Two-point-three percent, holy crap, my wallet is SCREAMING IN AGONY!
Why should I tone down my bigotry, and let you guys have all the fun?

First, land was stolen from the Indians who had been here for thousands of years before us.

Well you avoided the question, so I will ask it again: Can you prove the land was stolen? Ya see, in order for something to be stolen, first it must be OWNED. Most indian tribes didnt believe in the idea of OWNERSHIP of land, hence they merely occupied it. Occupation doesnt equal ownership, otherwise we would OWN Iraq.

Uh, who's showing the racism here? Only whites are allowed to own land? They'd love you back in the 1700's, only white man can own land, Indians aren't even human to you are they? After all Indians had to fight in the Supreme Court to prove they were human...
BTW, that Revitalization does not include plans to bring back the poverty and below-poverty population that has been the blight of the area and of the State of Louisiana.
What experience do you have with NOLA? Any?
Good one….DHS security funding for the Midwest is not a form of "welfare with a dash of bribery". Nice try, though.... made me chuckle.
You can try to race-bait me, but your bait won't be taken and information will refute your ridiculous theory.
Ice storms are a very different type of storm and are generally not even classed as a Federally declared disaster.
Incidently, since you seem rather agitated about “ice storm” and tornado funding (or rather “aid”, as you call it), have a glance at the total funds for each Federal disaster over the last 2, 5, or 10 years.
Much of Florida was DEVASTATED and people were homeless. But Floridians didn’t rob and ransack the region, nor did Floridians force the local police to flee the area, did they?
Section 8 housing is through HUD. How about finding those figures and then re-total everything for us?
"Then please, explain to me why you continue to refuse to mention the "welfare mentality" of primarily-white areas receiving federal aid for disasters, yet you paint the left-behinds in New Orleans (the majority of whom are black) as lazy, stupid, useless blights on society who's only purpose in life is crime, fraud, and breeding more criminals? "
? Why do you express glee at the destruction of the section 8 housing in New Orleans, yet don't at all criticize the building of such housing in Alaska, North Dakota, or Nevada? Why do you feel your tax dollars are wasted in New Orleans, but not Missouri?

Remember what I said about you not telling others to "deny ignorance"?
“Ice storms are a very different type of storm and are generally not even classed as a Federally declared disaster. Didn't know that one either, did you? Ice falls under "winter storm" and they are classed as Emergency Declarations or Federal Declarations, depending, again, on what type of damage and how much damage. You should know these things. Oh, but wait. I forgot.... You’re still running on and on, rhetorically, rather than factually even though you are trying to do that lib thing and revert blame and deflect. Nevermind…
Typically winter storms with ice cause outages of power and roof or car problems when heavy limbs break due to ice. Once power is lost, households tend to need to relocate elsewhere temporarily. If there is sufficient damage to warrant a Federal declaration for individuals affected, the assistance is typically for hotel/motel fees, and some tree or roof damage to homes. Not exactly like a disaster from a hurricane.
One of the missions of FEMA is to provide disaster assistance funding to individuals (mostly those who are uninsured) after disaster strikes. Congress determined the type of disasters, the amount of assistance, and the way that FEMA determines what is covered by disaster assistance.
Airports: Gateway to Disease
Feds letting sick people into America
Our open-border policy isn't just causing economic disaster... it will eventually kill or sicken all of us as disease-ridden immigrants and other visitors spread exotic germs across the country.
A new report shows just how easy it'll be for the next big superbug to enter America -- all it needs is a human host with a passport and an international air ticket.
Hundreds, even thousands, of clearly ill air passengers hop off planes and make their entitled way right past the quarantine, where they're supposed to stop and get checked out.
Some of these people are so ill they collapse on the other side of the checkpoint and need emergency medical treatment right there in the airport. But no one sends them back to the quarantine -- they get an ambulance ride to a local hospital instead, probably on your dime to boot.
USA Today compared ambulance records for calls at airports to quarantine numbers, and found a complete disconnection between the two.
For example, the CDC's Atlanta region had 102 reports at its quarantine stations for 2009. But there were 473 ambulance calls for people with fever, diarrhea, vomiting or flu at Atlanta's Hartsfield-Jackson International Airport alone.
The CDC had 91 quarantine reports combined from Florida, Alabama and Mississippi... but Miami International Airport by itself had 185 ambulance calls for people who were ill, feverish, vomiting, or suffering from severe diarrhea or flu-like symptoms.
And who knows how many other clearly ill people just waltzed right on through, sick but not quite sick enough to need emergency care yet. Once in our cities, they spread their disease in taxis, hotels, subways, museums and restaurants.
Airlines are supposed to notify the CDC when they have sick passengers arriving, but most of them are far too busy dreaming up extra fees to bother.
I bring a surgical mask for flights and train rides, especially during flu season
