NPR had this story a couple of years ago:

"The Pew Hispanic Center reports there are more than 10 million illegal immigrants in the U.S. This population is spreading out from the states with traditionally high immigrant populations.

Many Hispanics arrive in places like California, Florida or Texas-but are now moving to Midwestern towns."

Standard Republican governor response to disaster; roll up sleeves.
Standard Democrat governor response to disaster; whine.

How does a Democrat win a governorship in Kansas anyway?

It's called Kansas City.

I am a woman, and I agree that this is a man’s job!

At my house, I do the OUTSIDE, and my wife does the INSIDE. Well, in Greensburg, there IS NO INSIDE anymore.........

It’s not like this is the ‘FIRST’ nor the last tornado Kansas will see....or am I mistaken....???

And the equipment that was sent to Iraq has likely been gone for 3-4 years... Which means that Kathleen has spectacularly failed to plan.

You are very correct. I am in Leavenworth (the town, not the "graybar hotel" :-)

I knew that Dick Cheney had the H.H.G. that wiped out the Democrat stronghold in south Louisiana, but I was unaware that the H.H.G. could be transformed into the H.T.G. in an effort to wipe out Democrats in Kansas!

the main purpose of the national guard is defense, not picking up after natural disasters.

Tell that to anyone who served under Klintoon. He used the military as his own personal Peace Corps/world cleanup crew.

Just ask the Marines at Pendleton in the 90's who were used to fight forest fires, etc, etc, etc...

Well this really makes me like my Governor a little better now. He has proven several times now that he can handle a natural disaster and not embarrass the state.

I live in Alabama.

Since there is nothing but OUTSIDE left, my wife would say, “It’s your mess, clean it up!”..............

I saw her on FOX this morning being interviewed by Steve Doocy. I’m thought she was going to saw the funnel cloud originated in Crawford, Texas. /sarcasm
