Illegal aliens doing rebuilding jobs in Biloxi, and they want visas

Isn't it wonderful in Bush's America?

From "Undocumented aliens rebuilding Biloxi, say they deserve visas":

As Biloxi rises from the devastation of Hurricane Katrina, it is doing much of it on the backs of undocumented foreign workers. Some are starting to suggest that their contributions are worth at least a temporary visa.

It's their only chance of getting dictatorship, now that all the world knows that radical socialism is pure malice.
