Hurricane Reconstruction Policy: Resort to FEMA (Find Every Mexican Available)

By immigrationprof

I find one pun running the internet worth repeating.  It has been said that localities trying to rebuild in the wake of Hurricane Ike are availing themselves of FEMA, not the federal agency once headed by the infamous Brownie, but by the policy of Find Every Mexican Available.  As in New Orleans after Hurricane Katrina, towns along the Gulf Coast devastated by Ike will probably resort to undocumented workers.
