Every disaster is different. The magnitude is different. The area is different. The people are different.

There's a large spectrum. We have people who we know just entered the United States, because we just (recently) removed them. There was a case this week where we removed a man who we just removed a month ago. Others have been here years.

You'd be surprised how many go back with large amounts of money.

Surprisingly, everybody says this has happened before, but a lot I talked to had never seen it at this magnitude.

To go down and offer solace to victims of a natural disaster is probably a low-risk venture for a first lady.

SBA disaster loans are the primary source of long-term recovery assistance from the federal government. To date, we have approved more than $84,310,000 in the State of Alabama for the victims of Hurricane Katrina.
