People of a lesser God

The Greek government correctly decided to compensate the people that their houses were burnt during the disastrous fires that destroyed a large part of Peloponnese. I'm wandering why they did not act in the same way with the people that were living in rented houses and were working in the fields. Is it because most of these people are immigrants and the immigrants will not vote in the forthcoming elections? Now, these people are suddenly unemployed since most of the fields in the area have also been burnt, and without any household effects.
