In case you haven't heard California is near bankrupt, and had their governor recalled. It has always stepped up to the plate, this time around they are having trouble filling their own plate..illegals cost over 10 billion a year, hospitals closing, schools overcrowded,jails full..housing costs are unreasonable, it would be difficult for a person/family to live in most areas without substantial income.
Personally I would love to see the displaced relocated in any unused military installations. I think the relocation of these people from NO may be the best thing that happens to them and breaks them from their poverty cycle....but they better be prepared to learn to speak Spanish....

You consider New Mexico, Oklahoma and Arkansas to be wealthy states? And Mississippi is one of the poorest in the country, and they are sheltering thousands from New Orleans.
Some folks have hearts, and some are heartless.
illegals cost over 10 billion a year,
Drewsmum says "That's CA's own fault,,,,,what about texas??? not good enough excuse."
housing costs are unreasonable, it would be difficult for a person/family to live in most areas without substantial income.
Drewsmum says "Good point"
Our state should then stop paying to educate the illegals and take care of our fellow countrymen from Louisianna and Mississippi.
It's amazing to see how other states are figuring out ways to help, and others aren't.
This state wants to give away so much money to people that don't deserve it, and now in an emergency they don't even try to help fellow countrymen that have lost everything.
Have you heard the mayor of San Antonio? He just basically said it is their duty to take care of these people, and they will figure out a way to do it. That's the attitude every state in the country needs to have right now. It's an emergency and we all need to chip in to help.
