Relative to the population of the central east coast of Florida there is a heavy influx of gulf coast evacuees who have remained. Most have integrated well into the area communities and become wage-earning, tax paying residents without any noticeable increase in per capita crime. Our small office building was painted last month by a painting firm that moved the owner, two employees and families, to this region and began to do business. A local bank did some smart lending to get the business restarted(as opposed to the national holding company banks who, in spite of their inflated rhetoric, wouldn't even talk to the owner about a loan to get his business going again).

That is the way it needs to be done.

Putting 100,000 of them in one place where they expect the Government to take care of them in perpetuity is a recipe for disaster.
