AFA the riots go ... And this probably won't garner me any points ... IF you emmigrate to a country, it is not the responsiblity of that nation's government to make you feel welcome, or to go out of their way to help you blend in. It's your responsibility to act according to the law. If you feel that the conditions are bad enough to riot, then pack up and leave. Obviously, you are not capable of being a productive member of society.

Hi,
I will give you all the points you want, because you are exactly correct on this one. Chalk up an extra ten points for Chevy and his point that is well taken.
Someone said that it is a small part of the federal budget. However I don't call 6% of the Federal budget an insignificant amount. Then, you drain the state taxpayers for the numbers like Chevy mentioned. We ARE NOT talking about an insignificant amount of money.
Remember, the same people who contribute that 6% are the same people who support the state programs that fund the 40% that are/were on welfare in New Orleans. Many of those people on welfare refuse to work or do anything to better themselves. You could never convince me that 40% o the population in New Orleans was unable to work or were all old and could not work. They sure were able to move fast when the looting started and darn, they were even able to push those carts of stolen merchandise like TV sets, etc. We don't owe people like that a darn dime.
