His tireless energy and enduring commitment to change has continued in his second term, bringing a renewed sense of public confidence, the strongest economy in decades, a modern police force, and revitalized neighborhoods. Ground-breaking programs and unprecedented coalitions have set a new public standard for city government that have made New Orleans the comeback city for the 21st century. Mayor Morial was born in New Orleans, the first son and second of five children of the late Ernest N. "Dutch" Morial and Sybil Haydel Morial. Mayor Morial grew up with a strong background in politics and civil rights as he watched his father rise through the ranks as attorney, legislator, judge and the first African American Mayor of New Orleans. After graduating from Jesuit High School in 1976, Morial studied economics at the University of Pennsylvania and received a law degree from Georgetown University. During college, he worked as a legislative intern to U.S. Senator Russell Long and at Georgetown, he worked as an associate in the United States Attorney's office in New York. He also worked as a legislative assistant to the late Congressman Mickey Leland.

Extractions: Politician, Lobbyist and Civil rights activist National Council of La Raza Controversy Over Welfare Reform On August 22, 1996, President Bill Clinton signed into law the strictest federal welfare reform law in years. It had major implications for legal immigrants who were not citizens. They became ineligible for food stamps and Supplemental Security Income (SSI), the latter of which assists aged, blind, and disabled individuals. The cost savings from these cutbacks was estimated to be between 20 and 30 billion dollars over six years. Immigrant advocate groups and charitable organizations, such as the NCLR, Northern California Coalition for Immigrant Rights in San Francisco, and Second Harvest, felt that the law was too harsh and unfair. Immigrants who came to the United States legally yet, who were not citizens, would be cut off from immigrant public assistance programs. This was especially critical to refugees who come to the United States with little money and few possessions, and who typically need several years for an adequate transition to their new surroundings. Advocates claimed it was unfair to change the rules and cut off benefits to those who had come to the United States legally. The Orange County Register.
