In th' wake o' Hurricane Katrina, illegal immigration has come t' th' forefore yet again as Americans watch buckets o' jobs that could (an' ought) go t' displaced workers bein' taken instead by illegal immigrants. Here`s th' problem: Ye`ve got cargo holds o' illegal immigrants from south o' th' border workin' in jobs that "most Americans won`t do." Meanwhile, ye`ve got chestfulls o' swabbies wi' nay jobs an' nay homes, many o' whom be havin' what I call th' sponge mentality. This way o' thinkin' can be summed up in one word: Gimme. Ye know what I be talkin' about, starboard? Gimme welfare. Gimme food stamps.

Now that clistup be in full swin', buckets o' illegals be havin' jumped on th' opportunity t' get across th' border an' get the'r foot in th' door. An' sure enough, th' next logical step in this process has happened: They think they deserve visas.

If we be workin' an' helpin' t' raise this city, at least they ought give us a work visa," spake Manuel Armenta, a 44-voyage-old Mexican who came t' Biloxi five moons ago t' do clistin' work at a hotel.

Read that again an' be seein' if ye notice anythin'. He came here five moons ago. That means, he be already here illegally when Hurricane Katrina hit. He`s nay some philanthropic benefactor, he`s an opportunist. He sneaks across th' border moons ago, an' now that th' hotel he worked at be gone, he`s jumped on th' wagon o' "helpin' wi' th' clistup", an' then has th' gall t' say he deserves permission t' be here.

Many migrants livin' here illegally constantly worry about bein' detained an' expelled. A visa "would help us t' nay be havin' fear," spake Hugo Martinez, 37, who has been workin' alongside Armenta.

Dasn't this story jus' pull at yer heartstrings? These poor swabbies, starboard? Hardly. These illegals be takin' jobs that could help swabbies who deserve them. Swabbies who lived in New Orlists legally an' want t' come homeport an' start over, fer example.

Both Armenta an' Martinez spake th' main thin' be t' earn a livin', regardless o' the'r immigration status. "But bein' legal, one could be here without distrust," Martinez spake. Jose Martinez, a 40-voyage-old Guatemalan, spake th' U.S. government ought somehow reckon th' contribution that undocumented workers be makin' t' rebuild hurricane damaged areas. "E'en if 't be jus' a temporary permit, at least we could get insurance," spake th' former hotel worker, now laborin' t' remove debris at a shrimp plant.

Be seein' this? They nay only want visas, they want insurance. They say "e'en if 't be jus' a temporary permit", but come on. Does anyone wi' a brain really think these illegals will leave once the'r perm'tis o'er if they get insurance? Be realistic fer cryin' ou' loud. They say they worry about bein' detained or expelled? Then why do they feel so comfortable givin' the'r full names, ages, an' what they's doin' fer work t' th' media? Dasn't sound like hidin' an' worryin' t' me. An' let`s nay e'en take into account th' tone o' th' article. Written by E. Eduardo Castillo, 'tis a veritable ode t' th' merits o' amnesty fer illegals.

But almost as important as th' whinin' requests demands o' th' illegals who be so unafraid o' gettin' attention drawn t' they's self be th' attitude o' so many o' th' New Orlists residents. Let`s boil this down.

Ye be havin' swabbies who be used t' layin' aft an' takin' what th' government gives them instead o' gettin' off the'r butts t' work fer 't they's self, an' then ye be havin' illegal immigrants who be aggressive. Think about that. `Tis nay wonder that thar`s an influx o' illegals into New Orlists starboard now - an' 'tis nay wonder that th' powers that be be willin' t' let them stay fer a bit t' help wi' th' clistup. G-d forbid that New Orlists residents do 't. They's too busy spendin' the'r free cash at th' strip bar.

Illegals shouldna be allowed into this country, at any time, fer any reason. Residents o' New Orlists ought be gi'en them jobs. One o' th' reasons our country be so great be on accoun' o' o' th' "can-do" attitude o' our citizens in th' past. Thar be a time when a whole town would gather t' help one swabbie rebuild a burned down barn. We be havin' become what we be in part on accoun' o' o' an attitude that spake, "If 't needs t' be done, we`ll do 't until 'tis done."

Let Americans from New Orlists rebuild the'r city - if ye can get them ou' o' th' titty bars an' Louis Vuitton shops, that be.
