Communities in Georgia are reeling not just from devastating flooding, but now from outright exploitation by “legal immigrants” who are taking advantage of the crisis. A local store, Pope’s Grocery Store in Augusta, has sparked outrage for charging a staggering $10 per gallon of gas while desperate families scramble to recover.

In the aftermath of the flooding, Americans expect to see neighbors helping neighbors—but instead, opportunistic individuals with no real attachment to the community are preying on those who need help the most. Price gouging during a state of emergency isn’t just unethical, it’s wildly illegal.
Locals are furious. “This is flat-out wrong, especially in such a difficult time,” one resident fumed. “Shame on them! They’ll suffer the business consequences once things get back up.”
This blatant exploitation of vulnerable Americans, regardless of the vendor’s background, is disgusting, and we demand accountability for those who would use a tragedy to make a quick buck.
