Immigrants feel fallout on Coast – Mississippi
Tagged: MississippiPosted on: August 29th, 2007“They rebuilt casinos, poured concrete, repaired roofs, installed wallboard and took on jobs when the battered Mississippi Gulf Coast had no solid work force of its own.
Now, two years after the storm, with much of the recovery work done, some of those immigrants – those who have put down roots with homes, schools and businesses – say they’re stared at in public, singled out by law enforcement and targeted by politicians on the campaign trail.
Gratitude, they say, has turned into spite.”
