Quoted: If you don't like the way these tribal people are behaving why don't you stop running your pie holes and go do something about it? Our parents and grand parents allowed this situation to come about. Now it's time to correct it. This disaster pointed out a lot of problems in America that need fixing. In my opinion the welfare state is one of the worst of the problems.

You mind if I take a shot?
There's alot of cleaning up that needs to be done, alot of construction as well. How about the government setting up temporary housing (thinking thousands of tents, not homes) for anyone who wants to work. Put them on a work crew, enforce a curfew. Sandwiches for breakfast and lunch, and a decent hot dinner. When all the easy work is done (moving debris, filling up trucks with garbage, filling potholes, etc) then they can go to training camp to learn a skill such as driving a bulldozer, or how to frame or roof a house. After the required amount of time, they will be trained with a skill they can use after the cleanup is completed. Sort of like the WPA of the 1940's. There are plenty of jobs to do in this country. Put them to work building prisons....
It would be a good gig for them. Heck, make it well-paying; It would still be cheaper than these handouts. But the gig is that if they "flunk out" they are completely out of luck. Can't get back into the program. Then we can phase out galddamned welfare.
But, hey, what do I know?
