Mississippi Redneck

Since Hurricane Katrina hit the Mississippi Coast a little over two years ago, there has been an extremely large influx in the Hispanic population along the coast. This has created issues for many people mostly griping because of their prejudices, but I have a slightly different outtake on the situation.

While there has been a significant amount of Hispanics from many different areas, it seems that the Mexicans far outweigh the rest. For those that came her legally - great! I have no problem with immigrants who want to make a better life for themselves and do it the right way.  The vast majority of people in the United States are immigrants from somewhere but our ancestors worked hard to get here and, in turn, learned the language and supported this country through war and taxation.

The illegal immigrants coming to this country by the truckload get in our country, flood our schools and hospitals, and hard working Americans are footing their bills because they do not pay taxes.  Our area had a lot of work after the Hurricane for these immigrants but now as the work is subsiding, you see them hanging out on the streets, littering the homeless shelters, and causing issues everywhere (crime included) when they should not be here in the first place.

Then, you have attorneys that specialize in getting papers for this population that can’t even speak the language. There is one specific attorney who specializes in getting papers for illegal immigrants for the sole purpose of them being able to sue Americans and American companies!

When does it all end?
When do we, not only as Mississippians, but Americans as a whole, stand up and say “enough is enough”?
