I disagree. They are fleeing the only state still under the Napoleonic code of law rather than the British Common law. Let's face it - Louisiana is more foreign than Canada. Ain't my claim...I'm just pointing out that posters to this thread are ignoring the fact that Rush made the same point as Jesse.

Allow me to translate the Rev. Jackson's meaning: "I'm afraid that if the blacks see that the whites really don't hate them and are bending over backwards to help, that the blacks might no longer buy into my BS".

I don't suppose it ever occurred to this self-agrandizing idiot that these people are free agents and ultimately will determine their OWN destiny...and destination.

yes jesse people do really care about the citizens and that is why they are loving Texas because I have heard them say wonderful things about Texas a state that these people dont believe to hum isn't Texas where Bush is from. oops we better not interview these people now more
Jesse Jackson and Ms Lee THE STATE OF LA FAILED IT'S PEOPLE!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!WHAT PART OF THE ENGLISH LANGUAGE DO YOU NOT UNDERSTAND, THE MAYOR FAILED HIS PEOPLE SO PLEASE JUST GO AWAY I guess he realizes kissing up to Cindy in Crawford wasn't news worthy anymore or the President of Venezula he had to now get his ugly mug in LA. Jesse isn't it racist to not let your people make more of there lives and be somebody
To: Cincinatus' Wife
I noticed the call for an investigation is now a call for firing. What has happened to reasonable thought, and due process? I smell a rat here.
To: bella1
Jesse has a real problem here. With all of the private generosity it makes it hard to push for a "victims relief fund" and how does that correlate with an overall push for reparations. Gee, how to play this one - better consult with Sharpton.
To: sweetliberty
...that these people are free agents and ultimately will determine their OWN destiny...and destination. The whole of the DNC just "gasped" in unison with your statement.

I guess spaceships dropped off the folks who live in Chinatown and Little Italy.
Lord knows it couldn't possibly be political problems around the globe./

There are always buses to take them to the polls. Just no buses to get 30 miles out of the city!
To: Cincinatus' Wife
I haven't read any other comments, but I figure where they were "acculturated" is a big part of the problem.

Baton Rouge, Houston, San Antonio, and Dallas simply cannot absorb this crush of humanity
Here-here. Texas has already taken 250,000 refugees. We need help too, otherwise the infrastructure will not be able to help these people really start over. We need to spread this out. Jesse do you want them to have a REAL chance or are you just trying to keep your voting block intact.
I'm sure he's looking for Texas and all our electoral votes to go blue now.

"It is racist to call American citizens refugees,'' he said. Maybe you should check the dictionary first Jesse.
I see him more as a parasite than anything else.

He needs a big crowd to preach to. Spread them around where they are well taken care for and you don't need Jesse no mo!
