My employer has an office there with people I frequently work with. Their building has been damaged, the power is out and there are gas leaks everywhere but I have no other news.

They can send all the ILLEGALs back to help them dig then selves out. I'm pretty non caring if illegals are HERE and start claiming to be victims of something that occurred here. But these folks stayed in Mexico. My thoughts are with them. The ones that piss me off are the ones around here claiming FEMA benefits for hurricane damage and losses while they are here illegally. Big article in the paper saying they are welcome to claim aid from FEMA as FEMA doesn't report them to ICE...  https://www.victoriaadvocate.com/ne...beings-like-everyone-else/?mostcommented"I do know that people are sometimes afraid to ask for assistance because they're afraid they might be reported to authorities," said Jann Tracey, a spokeswoman for the Federal Emergency Management Agency.
Whether undocumented immigrants seek shelter or apply for financial help to fix damaged homes, FEMA will not report their citizenship status to authorities, Tracey said.
"I think it's important for people to know that we don't report information to immigration services - nothing like that," she said.

I'd prefer that we are a good neighbor and help out as we reasonably can.
I would not want to see 'help' coming in from Iran, NorK, China, etc, etc.....if you get my drift.

Natural disasters should transcend politics and we help each other on a human level.
That being said I wouldn't cry if a bunch of cartelistas got dead in the earthquake.

We give them $20 billion in aid. They give us $10 billion for the wall. Trump supporters are happy.

I gotta say I was impressed by the photos of the general public pitching in to help with the rescue efforts.
