Probably a quarter of a million will settle in Texas, many with family, most starting over.

Would be a good time for Gov. Perry or President Bush(or more likely Congress pushing him) to proclaim that as the situation has changed, the border must be closed to illegal immigrants. Document sweeps of construction companies. On the national level pass a law mandating that all reconstruction and relocation housing contracts bid out using fed funds for the next year must use 10, 20, 30%(whatever is practical) registered refugees. Gives those refugees a chance to earn income(any fit male under 40 or so can do construction, I've done it), instead of costlier welfare payments, and reduces rebuilding/relocation costs. Or maybe structure it as a bid bonus for each refugee hired. No sense in illegals doing this work, we're going to have plenty of able bodied male refugees. Obviously those or just rough ideas that may or may not be a realistic option, but something to think about.

Ending entitlements is the only way to restore self-respect.
