Hurricane Katrina left many of our residents in need of immediate assistance, and I am glad to announce that Secretary (Elaine) Chao has moved quickly to help out our state,

The residents will be individuals who are here because they need daily assistance, but that are able to get about and do things on their own.

The largest untapped constituency in American politics are the 300 million American citizens who have been completely left out of the immigration debate.

There has never been a hurricane here. The residents don't know the threat from the wind. There's a certain disbelief,

On Friday night, I was notified by one of my residents that a hurricane was coming. By morning, everyone was crying, asking me what's going on and what to do. Ms. Darby -- the dorm parent who I report to -- asked me to announce that the school was to be evacuated by 4 o'clock.

The effects of Hurricane Katrina are nothing short of tragic and we know there is a tremendous need for assistance, ... Floridians . . . understand the amount of work the affected areas have in front of them.
