'We are not taking these fine Americans to trash a sports arena. Think of it as triage. It takes a little time to determine all of the needs. High priority is getting people back to a routine. School, medical care, and such. Not to worry, we will not send our fellow southern "dregs" to invade pristine Iowa. Would not want the Hawkeyes to have to deal with Americans that have a different skin color, and speak with a drawl. Let us all just cram them into tents in 105 degree heat. Read your quote. Dispicable.
"This is long term, we are probably supporting them anyway, lets do it right and have a controlled situation""
There's some truth to both of your posts. BTW there are some great hearted people in the heartland too. We are just quite separated from the area. If you have a way to send up 5-10 families, I'll see they are given food and shelter. Just don't send any gang-bangers.
Please contact your church, parish, synagogue, ward, or meeting hall. There is a need. The Salvation Army is also great. These groups will make certain that the people that you want to help are truly in need. Not perfect people for sure, but they will not show up with weapons and drugs.
