FEMA Offers (Some) Help to Undocumented Families

Undocumented Families

On a tour of storm-ravaged Staten Island, President Barack Obama assured residents of one of the worst-hit areas in the New York region that they were not alone.

"During difficult times like this, we're reminded that we're bound together and we have to look out for each other," Obama said from a Staten Island street where so much had been demolished by Superstorm Sandy. 

As he had done before his visit, Obama vowed to lend federal help to victims of the storm.
