So, because there are a few sex offenders amongst those displaced by Katrina, you want the rest to remain homeless?
Look, I understand these people have to have a place to go, but I sure would not want them living 'in my backyard' either. You can say what you want, but a LOT of these people come from the ghettos and slums of New Orleans. One of the many students who came to our school from New Orleans, she was a prime example who you do NOT want living near you. She happily recounted her (several) adventures to jail, (only once for stabbing someone). I am not really sure if she was kidding about the stabbing thing, but she definately wasn't kidding about the rest.
Read some articles on the increase in crime in Houston.
Crazy, I know.
Prudence must be used when distributing Mercy.
One must protect family and property. Considering that my subdivision does not allow outbuildings or a dog kennel, I would not want a trailer on the other side of my property line either.
Well, I would rather have them homeless than endanger my family. However, they could screen these people couldn't they?
