1. And rebuilding contractors are bringing in illegal immigrants at

...$5.00 per hour to do the clean-up in the hurricane devastated areas. Go figure.

2. That map might not be 100% accurate

I don't see, for example the 2,000 survivors Washington State is getting to care for, starting tomorrow. And Oregon will be caring for many survivors as well. I couldn't find a date for the map-it might be old.

3. Wisconsin should be on there too...

They're bringing people to Madison, a big effort to clean up empty Allied Drive apartments is underway. (Allied Drive is a low-income neighborhood, I work 1/2-mile away from it.)

Not sure if other locales in Beerbratistan are taking in any survivors, but I'm glad Madison is.

4. Does this map include all the people that left ahead of the hurricane?
