Will we see refugee camps in the US?
There are so many displaced that it seems to me the only choice will be tents.

Is this a reality in the US right now?

2. Absolutely.
Here in South Florida, there were tent cities after Andrew, and this is a lot worse than that -- bad as it was. So, I'm sure the same thing will likely happen now.

3. It's called the Superdome
I don't see any other way. If NO is off limits for 3 months I odn't think there are any other options than to have tent cities

4. I imagine large ones similar to third world countries
It's frightening as to the poor readiness this country now has as a result of an illegal and immoral war. Americans are now paying for it with their lives. :cry:

5. Yes, and I fear for the children of....
...the families that have no homes to return to.

* & Buddies, Inc. have been 'chawin' at the bit' to start up
privately runned youth camps.

6. Yes. I'm afraid that is exactly what may be coming.
Complete with razor wire and armed guards.
