Now it IS a minority of people. Most are just trying to get to saftey, but the situation is bad, which is why we're sending in the military police (Yeah. It's THAT bad.)
As for why Texas is putting a limit on the number of refugees: Well, is it not obvious. There is only so much room for them. They will fill up hotels, crowd ins, and consume goods because they need anything the lost in the flood. A sudden influx of *Everyone* displaced by the flood into one state would throw the economy off big time. Besides, 75000 is a good chunk of the displaced, and there are 48 more states in the union anyway.
Oh come on Chaltab, do you really have this stereotyped and racist view on New Orleans?
And oh sure, send them all to Washington State or Hawaii. At times like this, the sole state economy comes in second. But hey that's me, I don't know what are their priorities.
