My mom says Baton Rouge is overwhelmed. The population has doubled. The school system can't take in all of the new kids. All the grocery stores have lines to the back of the store and are constantly running out of stuff. Gas lines are long in Baton Rouge. There simply is not enough resources for one or two cities or states to absorb half a million refugees. Many of these people cannot return for up to six months or more. They will likely want to find homes and jobs where they are relocated to. Baton Rouge, Houston, San Antonio, and Dallas simply cannot absorb this crush of humanity. How about they move in with you, Jesse?

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.
