Hurricane Katrina: Some on the Right are Being Stupid Too
I just got this from the Minuteman Project:
TAKE ACTION: We weren’t expecting this sudden need. There’s no way to plan for such a time as this — but nevertheless, we MUST take action now. We can’t leave our borders unprotected — but having to start our operation early means we’re having to start without having all of the funds in place that we planned for. Click Here to help with your best contribution now:
Now, I do think we need to secure the border (as well as liberalize the number of immigrants we allow in legally) but using Katrina to try to push that agenda and then stump for donations is beyond the pale. There are more important things then immigrants getting into the country. We’ve had open borders for years now; a few more weeks won’t hurt. A few more weeks in New Orleans, however, will kill. The money needs to go to Katrina first.

I disagree. Part of the reason they’re beginning early is because Border Patrol agents have been pulled from their jobs on the border to come help in New orleans. Therefore, the border is even LESS protected now than it is usually. So yeah, they need to get out there. And yeah, they need money to do it. The problem with Katrina at this point is, like everything else in the world, politics.
