According to Migration News: There were 950 Jamaicans on H-2B visas and perhaps 150,000 legal and unauthorized Mexicans in Katrina-affected areas. The H-2B workers lost their jobs and housing, and did not know if they would be transferred to other US casinos or forced to leave the US. Many of the Mexicans worked in construction, and may stay in the area to help rebuild.

These contractors would have loved being plantation owners in the pre civil war south, same mentality. When these "people" complain about taxes killing their business, I will just tell them "Hey, since you freely break the law for your precious 30 peices of silver, I do not feel any obligation to vote for politicians that will help your tax situation".

If it wasnt for issues like abortion, multiculturalism and downright sanity, I would be voting for Democrats, but at this point, with some exceptions, I do not feel compelled to vote GOP, and if liberals do gain full control of govrenmnet, I would get a certain pleasure in seeing theese contractors taxes go though the roof.

I am just sick of "people" being free to break laws because they can buy politicians, no matter what the long term cost.

In addition to being immoral to contribute to the ongoing creation of an underclass of Mexicans this is a good example of how the illegal aliens are stealing the propserity of every American.

Look at the description of the jobs being performed by these people.

American Citizens can do these jobs and they would do these jobs, however, not for $15 an hour! In our country there is nothing wrong with that either.

Pay an American what its worth to do this work, pay the taxes, the SS, the MC, the insurance, etc and the prosperity from this work would flow to Americans.

Let it be stolen by a used underclass Mexican and not only does the money from the work go out of this country, the underclass also bleeds us for our medical and social services as they perform this work. They take two dollars out of the economy for every dollar they put in.

There is a negative counterbalancing effect to our society overall when you allow this type of labor to come in and undercut the population of American Citizens. It does not stop with the Americans being displaced by the illegals either. It affects every one of us.

" Although some are happy with their jobs, others find that the conditions aren't what they had hoped."

How were the conditions compared to say....Mexico?
