How the South can rise again: Immigrants
In the immediate aftermath of Hurricane Katrina, members of the media noticed there was widespread devastation in the South. Watching it on television, as a person of Southern heritage, to me it was clear: “Some of that was like that before the storm.” And it was. And it still is years later. Now since the Southern states have primaries for the next few weeks — combined with Mitt Romney doing his best Rand McNally material at campaign stops — the South is in the spotlight once again.
