Re: New Orleans..rebuild or abandon?
This disaster is going to have HUGE ramifications on us all. That's an obvious statement, I know. The magnitude of the displacement of people will dramatically affect not only the South but all part of the U.S. in fact, it already is.<br /><br />How can the government justify allowing illegal aliens to stream into the country when the populace of New Orleans will need to be relocated? Where will these people go, and what will they do for work? Sounds like a large portion of them are low skill workers. How is this going to be resolved? It's unbelievable.<br /><br />If this happened becasue of a natural disaster, imagine what the outcome would be if a city was taken out by a terrorist attack. We'd basically be in the same boat.<br /><br />I think with all the people currently unable to work in Lousiana alone we should do everything in our power to aide them and their families. However, I feel a good solution to rebuilding would be to put every victim of this tradegy between the agres of 18-60 and in good health to work. There is no reason they can't help with clean up and rebuilding. Unskilled labor jobs will be plentiful, and will last a long time.<br /><br />Maybe our government and/or other organizations should say, we'll take care of your family if you come to work for us.
