The Mayor of New Orleans says, "Get off your asses" and we agree. This is not a partisan or political issue, it's a Federal Government failure issue. What if this had been a terrorist attack on the levees of New Orleans?
Get those people out of there. They are dying in the streets by now.
And Governor Perry, can Texas really accept 100,000 refugees? What's the impact on our economy? And can our schools absorb these children? Should there be some emergency legislation or can Perry just 'executive order' his way through all these things?
ugh.
seems like a special session of the legislature to help cope with any of the challenges posed by the refugee situation would be appropriate, if necessary. *shudder* it must be an extreme situation if i'm saying that.
Don't think we have a choice on accepting them. Though this will play into school finance arguments.
Good questions for Gov. Goodhair to answer, btw.
