Feds stop short in assurances for illegal immigrants

WASHINGTON The Department of Homeland Security has stopped short of reassuring illegal immigrants victimized by Hurricane Katrina that they can seek help from relief agencies without fear of arrest.

It's something the federal government did after the September eleventh attacks.

Agency spokeswoman Joanna Gonzalez says the agency is focused on saving lives and encourages everyone to come forward. snip

But she would not say whether information on undocumented immigrants would be shared with law enforcement agencies.

2. I think this is one of the few things I actually support

they aren't saying that they authorities won't help illegal immigrants. They are saying that they will help them, but that they will not have any guarantee that they won't be deported for being here illegally. I honestly don't see a problem with that.
