This is interesting. I was thinking that now might be a good time to buy land in New Orleans.

Now they'll see some real racism.

The Great Flood of 1927 in the delta prompted a good deal of migration north.

Here's a little insight to the people in power who created the vast majority of these "refugees" and their "you owe me" mentality.

I was thinking that the so-called high ground in NO is going to become EXTREMELY pricey. Regarding the migration, my comment is "gee, ya think?"

"What I do think should be focused on now is what is the Congress is going to do when they get back," former President Bill Clinton said in Houston on Monday. "How are we going to find jobs for these people, where are they really going to live, do they need some cash right away?"

"They feel lost."

Clinton's not wasting time courting the black refugees for their votes.

The Liberal MSM really sucks since it went from reporting the news to predicting it. I knew this was going to happen when Miss Cleo started that School of Journalism.

"It could have potentially that kind of effect," said Obama, whose father immigrated from Kenya.

Correction: Obama's father was a Kenyan, possibly a Kenyan muslim, possibly a fellow traveler of the Mau Maus. Whatever his fathers background. Obama's father abandoned him as an infant to be raised by his white mother.

The last I heard there are over 12,000 unoccupied houses in Detroit.

Don't you mean swampland? Gee, who could have ever guessed that if you built a city below sea level on the Gulf Coast that you might be victimized by a 175 MPH hurricane?? Who woulda thunk!

Ever ride in a New Orleans cab from the airport? Not the most pleasant experience. But on the way you had a great opportunity to see some rather strange graveyards and unforgettable poverty.

Having spent time in the ER's of several NO hospitals you quickly got the opinion that gunshots were a right of passage,...usually to the great beyond. A dirty, crime-ridden city beset with horrendous poverty coupled with houses that the Big Bad Wolf could have blown down with mere halitosis!

Add in several billion gallons of brackish water and...Houston, you've got a problem.............

But if you think this is bad, try NYC following a nuclear attack. NO will look like a picnic in the park compared to that one!

I'd just like to point out that Nebraska has lots and lots of tornadoes, really cold, nasty winter weather, and is so totally unpleasant that no one would ever want to live here if they didn't have to.

Texas is much nicer. Really.

They will be resettled in certain key states and in certain key locations within the target states. The "Pols," irrespective of party, are dividing up the resettlement locations in order to ensure each other a lifetime position.

Now would be a great opportunity for all those big businesses that promote illegal immigration to step up to the plate and hire displaced Americans instead.

I'm glad they have been moved out of New Orleans. Most were living BELOW the poverty line, that's no way to live. So wherever displaced Katrina victims are now, they are MUCH better off, and I hope they stay...their lives will be drastically better!

If so I hope it is a migration away from liberalism.

I suspect that a lot of the poor in NO lived in those small "shotgun houses" that they had owned for a long time.

I doubt they will have flood insurance, no money to rebuild, and will have to go elsewhere unless someone can come up with assistance to rebuild--and those houses weren't built to modern codes so they will be much more expensive to replace, even if the loan or grant money is available.

And if they have been surviving on welfare, there will be no way to pay a housing loan back.

They'll feel right at home in southern Arkansas, especially Pine Bluff and W. Helena. The ones that migrate to Texas, will probably be expected to work.

Look, I realize that a lot of them have jobs, and they're not all deadbeat welfare cases. I'm just a tad sour after some of the scenes I've seen and the way they're whining and demanding and attacking. THAT's an entitlement mentality. Maybe it's just that those are the only ones the MSM wants us to see, but here's a clue to the MSM....it ISN'T helping their "cause."

Congress is supposed to find them jobs now? How many of them had jobs BEFORE Katrina? If we got rid of all those illegals doing the "jobs Americans won't do," just maybe we'd have some Americans to do those jobs now, ya think?
