MineralMan

(7,286 posts)Immigration officials will be manning checkpoints during the storm trying to catch undocumented immigrants among the refugees
This is so fucked up I find it hard to believe
malaise
(269,271 posts)Of course it's fucked up - this administration doesn't give a shit about human lives including their own officials.

This is worse, if immigrants are afraid to evacuate, people will die, including rescue workers

Horse with no Name

(1,993 posts)We would have left if it was cat 4 or 5. Generator is ready with lots of fuel. We are boarded up with a lot of local animal shelter dogs in our house (my wife is a veterinarian). We live on a ridge with zero chance of flooding. I built the house with hurricane ties on every rafter ( it survived the eye wall of hurricane Claudette cat 2 in 2004). Our livestock are secure. The horses are secure. The grid-tie solar array is secure. If Trump wants to come down for a photo-op I'll have a few choice words for him! I take that back, I DONT want him down here! Things are about to get interesting.
