"This was a test case, and we failed," Jackson Lee said.

Yes Rep Jackson Lee, I agree. The welfare state has most definitely failed.

I hope a lot of these people gain new lives from a culture of self reliance and hope.

"I'm so proud of Houston," Jackson Lee said
I'm sure that Houston is just about to burst with pride because it made Jesse proud. /sarc

[Mr. Jeeves]

We're gonna ship 'em all to Texas and teach 'em to be Republicans! Take that, Jesse! ;)

[Mr. Jeeves]

We're gonna ship 'em all to Texas and teach 'em to be Republicans! Take that, Jesse! ;)

[Reactionary]

Je$$e understands that if they're shipped far off, they probably won't come back. And if they don't come back, well, there goes another liberal city and perhaps the state along with it.

Ship them to Detroit.

I'll bet Maine (with it's higher welfare payments) is breathing a sigh of relief about now.

"It is racist to call American citizens refugees,'' he said.

LMFAO - I just spewed iced tea on the keyboard.

What kind of idiot even listens to this race-baiting huckster anymore?

[RichInOC]

Jess, the ancestors of a good portion of New Orleans's population survived being transported from Africa to the U.S. Utah or Minnesota, weather and funny accents aside, ought to be a snap for their descendents.

[Arizona Carolyn]

The Federal Government should have assisted in evacuation??? Well... isn't that special! Their moonbat Governor turned down the President's request to put the feds in charge. So how does Jessie and Lee explain that??? How does he explain the 400 drowned buses where they didn't even TRY to evacuate the good citizens of LA?

I still think they are desperate to keep these people in LA because they are the people that elected the likes of Landrieu.... they know if they lose this voting base the State might actually elect people with a backbone.

"Jackson said evacuees from the Gulf Coast are not refugees, a word he believes suggests subhumans or criminals.

"It is racist to call American citizens refugees,'' he said."


So all those Vietnamese that came over during the war are "subhuman" or "crimainals"? And since when is "refugee" dependednt on race? People of all races were displaced because of Katrina. This man gets more idiotic every day.

[Howlin]

Have these people asked these FOOLS to speak for them?

The best thing that will probably ever happen to them is getting out from under the control of the Race Pimp.

[Truthsayer20]

Jackson et. al. are so transparent with their supposed worry about "acculturation" that it makes me sick. New Orleans was a major hub and power base for the Democratic party that they really don't afford to lose. Nevermind that many of the NO evacuees are going to be better off outside this cesspoll.

[L98Fiero]

"The government should have assisted New Orleans with evacuation efforts before the storm struck and has been far to slow in its wake to rescue those left in the city and provide aid, he said."

Check out the molars on that gift-horse.

[notpoliticallycorewrecked]

Whats the matter Jesse, you don't want your people to be moved too far away from the plantation? Are you afearing that you might lose control of them??

[hispanarepublicana]

Well, 2 of the 4 displaced NOLAns interviewed on the local (Lubbock) news a while ago said they're here to stay.

[dila813]

got to keep those black people down, ah Jessie? got to keep them Dependant on the Dems.

[hispanarepublicana]

PS: And, I'm sure it's not far from Jackson and Jackson Lee's minds that Lubbock is the #2 conservative city in the nation.

[JohnnyZ]

Jackson said evacuees from the Gulf Coast are not refugees, a word he believes suggests subhumans or criminals. "It is racist to call American citizens refugees,'' he said.

So all those foreign refugees .... they're subhuman and/or criminals? The ones who flee Cuba and Vietnam, the ones who flee natural disasters around the world, Jesse thinks they're subhuman? What a frickin' racist.

[RoseofTexas]

SHEESH, I can't stand that man!! Instead of flapping those lips MR. jackass, why aren't you down in N.O like Sean Penn and boating through the streets to help your fellow community brother to safer grounds.....YOU SOB!!

[johnny7]

Under which rock was the Revvvvvverand Jacksssssson 'acculturated'?

[w1andsodidwe]

"It's a long ways from home," he said. "It's a long way from where they have lived, where they were acculturated."

By his logic, I am lucky to survive. Born and raised in Iowa. but now living in California. My god how did I survive the culture shock.
