Not only has Houston taken in the great number, Lubbock took 1,000, Amarillo took 500 hospital patients, and little ole Big Springs was in the paper yesterday having taken some 25 families.

Texas has gone way above what any other state has done or offered, and if truth be known, we don't need any more drain on our welfare system that most of these folks will be. But there is no way we could turn our backs to these people in such devastating need who have lost so much. That wouldn't be humane, much less Christian. How many did New York take, or Connecticut, or Ohio, or.....I could go on and on.

Texas is majority conservative/Republican....and yet we are portrayed as not being compassionate.
