Over one million people were affected by the last intense rains in the Mexican state of Tabasco. Do you remember New Orleans? This is several times bigger.
Some of the students from New Orleans ended up in Texas, and some as far North as Illinois.
Is this any different?
There are a few differences, Tabasqueños do not speak English that well, they are not American citizens, and usually do not consider Minute Men Country a safe haven. They may even have nightmares about white devils in Ku Klux Klan white robes with nooses, a la Jena High School.
But there are plenty of similarities, they are poor, in need, and without a home.
I predict that Americans are going to get used to the nice accent of Mexicans from that part of the country.
