My understanding is we are supposed to house several thousand at Reunion Arena in Dallas as well.

Somebody needs to have some hard conversations with these people when they arrive. They might as well start looking for jobs and plan on starting life over either here or someplace else.

Meanwhile, we need the zeroist of zero tolerance when it comes to behavior in these refugee camps. I'm not in any mood to put up with bussed-in criminals. We've got enough grown in our own backyard.

The fellas on their bellies in this shot probably won't be going very far in the hear future, except to jail somewhere, hopefully.

Armed Texas game wardens surround a group of individuals who stole a mail truck to escape the flooded areas of New Orleans East August 31, 2005. The people were freed but forced to continue on foot. Authorities struggled on Wednesday to evacuate thousands of people from hurricane-battered New Orleans as food and water grew scarce and looters raided stores, while U.S. President George W. Bush said it would take years to recover from the devastation. REUTERS/Rick Wilking

Sorry your entire city and everything you had was destroyed, but buck up now, and don't be a pain in the ass to us, cuz we don't want you here?

Real lovely attitude, that.

Maybe these Americans can replace some illegal aliens.

This is the first time I saw the word being used: refugee camps

I thought the same thing.

Also, since there's no communication around NO, maybe once these people get where they can call relatives in other parts of the state or country, and have a safe place to wait for a bus ticket or some money via Western Union, they will voluntarily leave Texas.

Of course they are going to stay there. They will start getting social services and maybe a few will even find jobs. Why would they go back to nothing? These people didn't have money to evacuate to begin with and they didn't have anything, much less insurance, to guard and protect. It will be too much effort and too many bad memories to go back to. Besides, life is better in a solidly red state like Texas than in a mostly blue state like Louisiana.

I hadn't heard about this. Source? I'm not against helping them either, but like you, they might as well plan on making this a permanent change, NOLA is about cooked.
