#2 Fine with me. He can have them all flown to Texas. I'm sure everyone down there will be well pleased and he'll be re-elected next time straight away.

#3 Let's not be too hasty, guys. I actually agree with this - PROVIDED:

1) they stay in the New Orleans Superdome.
2) they eat nothing but MREs until they leave.
3) if we catch them in the US again, their next job will be clearing houses in the disaster area for six months, and THEN be sent back, this time with a used tent and a couple of worn-out sleeping bags.

Perhaps, just perhaps, they might learn something, and understand that Uncle Sam isn't the "sugar daddy" they take him for.

#4 I'm sorry, that was a bit cold. Rather, nobody else gets to leave the country while their applications are being processed, regardless how pressing the personal need (I had a girlfriend whose father was busily dieing of heart failure and cancer the whole time her husband's green card was under review, and all she could do was sit by the telephone and hope not to receive that final call) so you can't either. If your concerns are about people who have already died, pay someone to put a stone on the grave so you can find it later... or give up your place in the queue and start over. If you are to be deported, stock up on supplies needed back home, and sell at a profit when you arrive, to finance building your new life.

#5 In the large Pakistani community in New York, some Pakistanis here legally say they want to go home to help but fear endangering their applications for permanent U.S. residency.

Well, where is "home." Which way do they frigging want it? Do they want to be US CITS, or are they just coming over here for work, and to send money back to Pakland or what. If they are here illegally (sorry, I know it's a four letter word), then illegal is still illegal no matter what mountain fell on your hootch.
