Do you think that will happen?
LOL...CNN...can't believe you're buying their reports...I live in Houston...they're saying they're at full capacity...
ft worth as well, tyler too my home town has 1500 and counting Texas has @75,000 already FYI
That's where I am going...there needs to be a real plan to disperse them throughout the US. Houston does not have the resources to take all of these people on.
Say.................I wonder if Haiti would accept these people as a sort of reverse of 1980.
It is only hyperbole
Seriously, it will be hard for any one city to take a couple hundred thousand new indigents. Then again, CA does this on a daily basis, as does the AZ and New Mexico border towns.
Somehow, I sense these NO people will end up spread all over the place across a number of states. I don't hink NO can be rebuilt.
Source?
How about taking all the poor people and putting them on an island. hhhmmm let me think,,
I GOT IT
Martha's Vineyard. They would be most grateful.
Ford Field, too. Unless the Lions ever get any plans this year.
Once again proving that Savage is a demagog and uniformed to boot.
The bases scheduled for closure won't be closing for a couple years.
"Michael Savage has suggested that Bush immediately stop his plan to close the many large U.S. military bases that already have infrastructure in place and use them to house these desperate refugees."
I think that's a great idea. I'm thinking of the airforce base near Blytheville, Arkansas that has been closed for some time now. Lots of houses standing empty there. Think they tried to sell them to the public when the base closed, but it didn't go over too well.
what's wrong with Detroit or Newark...Philly, Memphis, Nashville, Lexington, what's up with the rest of Louisiana...are they as incompetent as the "leaders" in New Orleans..???
Who is THEY? Why do let THEM doubly upset you with rumor and innuendo?
Shake yourself free from the brainwashing MSM, gal.
Savage is a freaking idiot. He acts as if those bases were selected for closure and then shut down the next day. Most of them won't be fully decommissioned for years.
Isn't the Great Western Forum available?
Herad they are sending more to San Antonio, to old Kelley Field. Guess they will put them in the old B-52 buildings.
San Antonio mayor said some are being flown into a closed AFB, and crews are installing AC tonight in a large building that can take in approx 7,000. More plans are in the works - the people of SA are mobilized and planning to take in more from NO.
Thank you, San Antonio!
Sort of like, "not in MY backyard"?
"Turning away" is not entirely accurate. They are Re-directing to other shelters.
