Katrina Coverage

Phyllis Schlafly:

Katrina has displaced hundreds of thousands of Americans who now need food, housing, and cash. Relief for those necessities will have to be temporary and it will be many months before they can return to New Orleans, if ever, so what they need most of all is jobs.

Our government should act immediately to put these displaced Americans in the jobs now held by illegal aliens. Some 10 million illegal aliens are now working in our country, so there is no excuse for not replacing a million of them with unemployed American citizens…

The problem is that, as illustrated in "Will illegal aliens take rebuilding jobs?", Bush is more interested in cheap labor than what's right for America.

There's also the issue that many refugees have been brought up in the Welfare State. It would have to go beyond just offering many of them jobs. Perhaps "leaders" like Jesse Jackson could encourage refugees to take low-wage jobs even if they think they're below them.
