According to an NPR story yesterday, "Many who fled flooded New Orleans for shelter in Houston's Astrodome are already eyeing potential jobs and considering making Houston their new home. Will evacuation turn into immigration
I went to the local Best Western today (here in houston suburb) and met a family that is considering making houston their home and as we speak are out trying to find apartment/house and a job. They are a great family who left before the hurricane and definately do not *want* a handout,,,but their money is running out (they have been there for 8 days with 2 rooms at 65$ each. Very productive citizens, I got their info and will be checking on them and if any one of you live here in houston close to southeast and want to help them they have a little girl clothes size 4t and a boy size 12-14,,,,they used to live in a suburb of new orleans,,,pretty much middle class,,,
