Is there no unemployment in Texas?

Oh, OK! The link is just to the Texas job site, doesn't mention that other stuff. Well, I imagine Texas has enough problems of its own without taking on its neighbor's unemployed folks. Although, if they're Katrina victims, wouldn't Texas agencies qualify for some sort of Federal funding through FEMA? Maybe not enough to make Texas feel better about the whole thing from what you're telling us.
I know that able bodied Katrina victims have gobbled up all Colorado's Housing Voucher's for the disabled (yes, we have Katrina refugees even way up here). Coloradoans in even more need than the Katrina folk have been shoved even further to the back of the line after waiting for one, or two, or three years. Maybe Colorado should start running some of those same ads as Texas does.
