#1 I've been extremely non PC lately, but when I read this headline the first thought was probably by sending folks. Yep.
Actually any help is good I guess...

#4 ZF - I suspect that on the Mexican version of the map, there is no border, making Jan's point most appropriate.

#6 ...Glad they sent it and I know every set of hands is welcome - but did anyone notice that's a Russian helo on the fantail, and an old Soviet personnel carrier swimming in the foreground?..

Current conditions in Nawlins are still a step up from some places down in Mexico. Except for the police. Even though the Mexican police are pretty corrupt too, at least they don't try to sneak into Texas in their cop cars.

#10 least they don't try to sneak into Texas in their cop cars.

That previlage is reserved for the Mexican Army. They've been photographed on this side of the border in fully armed jeeps. Most likely escourting drug runners. The locals complain, but nothing ever gets done about it.

#11 Who do you think will be rebuilding most of the houses in Mississippi, Alabama, and Louisiana? Although I have seen no formal statistics, it always seems as if the bulk of construction crews in the Southeast speak Spanish.
