What happened with Hurricane Katrina is tragic - lives were lost, homes destroyed, many people were displaced. Many states have opened their doors to evacuees needing shelter, and a fresh start. I’ve been awed by the outpouring of support Americans have provided to their fellow citizens.
A number of states decided it was best to do criminal background checks on evacuees coming to their state - just as a means of protecting citizens as well as other evacuees who would be housed together for what was an unknown period of time. The ACLU, however, thinks the background checks are racially motivated. But if you do a background check on all evacuees, how can it be perceived in this way?
I personally think states have an obligation to do criminal background checks to ensure their citizens are protected from thugs like this. It’s natural that a criminal wanted for homicide, such as 53-year-old James Camper, would attempt to escape via the evacuee route - I’m sure as screwed up as the media made the rescue and evacuation efforts appear, the criminal mind would think it is the perfect escape. Any smart law enforcement agency would know this as well, hence the background checks.
ACLU - get your heads out of your asses. You are livin’ in a dreamworld.

The ACLU has a vested interest in helping to spread chaos in America -- it was always included in the Soviet recipe for fomenting a communist insurrection in a third world country.
Fortunately for us and unfortunately for them, the United States is far from being a third world country and despite the fact that the left "owns" most of our news media, they are preaching to a majority of people who are quite happy with the form of government we now enjoy.

It's just another case of the man keeping the Black man down. They don't run background checks on whities.
I sure wish you would write for me.
