There are Mexican fire fighters in British Columbia right now saving lives and property. They always send help when we need it. Awesome friends to have.

I lived through Katrina. I will straight up tell you, as will anyone who was here, that Mexicans, Guatemalans, El Salvadorians, etc. rebuilt New Orleans and much of the Gulf Coast after that hurricane. They worked their asses off on construction and demolition jobs. We did not have the labor pool at the time to rebuild on our own. They did amazing work, quickly, and they were incredibly kind to locals who were struggling with the aftereffects of a natural disaster. If people think immigrants are un-American, then they have not seen immigrants build and harvest and butcher and paint and plant and repair. I'm forever grateful to the Mexicans, Central Americans and South Americans who came here and helped rebuild my home. They were definitely hermanos.
