This past weekend the NOPD 'raided' Lee Circle and detained forty-some illegal immigrants that have come to help rebuild New Orleans post-Katrina. As we have discussed in class, such assistance from, primarily Mexicans, has allowed this city to jump start itself in ways previously impossible.
Here is a link to a story regarding the importance of the Mexicans to the rebuilding process, written in the Washington Times.
What does this raid signify? The police force was obviously aware that illegal immigrants were waiting around Lee Circle -- is now the time when they begin sending illegal workers back to their home nations??
