Its one thing to want to make a better

benefits is
wrong. |
i don't understand how you know every
immagrant to come here is coming for
benefits...If that were the case why isn't
.Canada complaining? They've got great
benefits! |
ok.
I didnt say every damn person that
immigrates here does it to take advantage
of our system.
I said those that do.
i personally know several that did just
that.
I know this hits home cuz .Apolonio is
from a different country, .Mandi but you
need to not read so far into things and
think that we are all saying that every
person from another country is bad.
If that were true we'd all be bad.

I still don't understand what benefits
(other than the boa bullsh*t) that illegal
immigrants get. Is it different in other
states? I know here you can't qualify for
anything unless you are a us citizen and a
legal non-citizen. Here they
can't get cash assistance, food stamps,
medical, childcare or anything else. i
know that they don't qualify for ssi
either. Do they get these things in other
states?

And that's what's sad. Katrina killed
.mississippi & .new .orleans.
I can see them trying that here, but in
florida? That's crazy.
Your governor sucks balls.(sorry if you
like him. I'm just fed up with the bush's.
Do you know how medical answer long it
took the red cross & .f.e.m.a to get
here?!?!?! But they were *waiting* for the
storm to pass so they could get into .fla.
Hundreds of people died because of the
bush's.)

lmao!! He's not as bad, but he still gets
special treatment. I mean, his bro is the
president!!
There's no way .george would let .florida
suffer for as long as we did. No way!
It's because we're poor. And we're
prodominately african americans. The
government could give 2 sh'ts about us
down here.
They refused to call a state of emergency
when 2 tornadoes tore through our state.
It's a sad sad thing.
I'm having a hard time coping with all of
the damage these tornadoes caused. It's a
flashback of .katrina. But, i know, in
less than 2 months, it'll be hurrican
season again. 
Let's cross our fingers that our levees
don't breech! I don't want to have .oni go
through that.

How can you go through that every year? I
don't think I'd be able to stand living
somewhere that had a hurricane season. Up
here we get rain and we get snow. That's
about it. Sometimes the snow is bad but
not very often. We don't get hurricanes,
tornadoes, anything. My butt would be
packed and ready to go!
hmmmm... i better rethink puerto rico...

And .honduras!! & .jamaica! THey get
slammed ever year too!!
But, honestly, the reason I stay is it's
my culture. My heritage.
There's no place on *earth* like .new
.orleans. Seriously, I'd be lost in
another state.
Although I complain daily in the
summer(about the heat and hurricanes). I
wouldn't trade it for the world.
ANd if I have to rebuild year after year
after year...I will.

not unlivable. But damaged.
The Severe damage happened about 2 mins
away.
The only thing that saved us was our
levee. But it was severly weakened. So
this year, we'll more than likey be
treading water.
We're already 12ft under sealevel. We're
totally saturated. So any rainfall we get
can cause serious damage/flooding.
It's a scary thing. But it's something
I've lived with my entire life.

Actually, an illegal immigrant can migrate
to the .U.S and have a child here. That
child is then qualified for assistance -
which they get, by the way. But guess who
gets that money? It does go to benefit the
baby, but it also (and I know because I
work in that kind of community) goes to
support the 3 other children that illegal
immigrant brough with her that were not
born in the .U.S.
Where are all these immigrants working and
living if they are not supposed to be
'allowed' to live and/or work in the
states without documentation? They are
faking and stealing social security cards.

exactly.
Im all for people coming to this country
to make a better life for their family.
but damn, do it the honest way, you know??
I see it this way...
if they cant follow the rules and come
here legally and go thru the whole process
to become legal citizens, then whats to
say they wont respect our other laws and
not commit crimes and take advantage of
our freedom?

Aww .gen! THank you sooo much!!!
Last year for .katrina I was in .orlando
for a skin/hair show! ANd I was like a
month pregnant for .oni!!! I didn't
realise I was pregnant though. I was hella
snappy to my best friend and she was
like," yo, are you pregnant? Or are you
raggin?"
I hadn't even realized that I Had missed
my period! We were so busy glued to the
.t.v literally watching our lives be torn
apart.
Things are no where near being back to
normal. It's sad. Because any other state,
it would have been taken care of.
And not only do we have hurricane season,
but our "winters" being more sever weather
than any other state. We get flash
floods, tornadoes, and horrible rain(that
our wetlands can't handle).
Many times I've thought about leaving .new
.orleans. But I just can't. I can't leave
my heritage.
If we were to ever move, it would be after
me and .baron's grandmaw's died. I'd hate
to take their grandchildren (my .granny's
only great grandchild) away from them.
I want to evacuate to .pa!!  But if the
hurricane doesn't go your way, after it
leaves us, We'll def go there!!!!!!!!!!!!
Imma hold you to it nah!!

I Have a bad feeling about this year. A
bad bad feeling!!!
