Apparently many of them are indeed LA welfare recipients who are displaced and have to get some funds to live. Others are disabled, elderly and sick persons who cannot be cut off, but someone has to clear the legal hurdles of making them eligible for Medicaid and essential prescription drugs over here. Some are regular and emergency food stamp recipients (even if they have money, getting it out of a bank so they can spend it may be a formidable task). And some are probably leeches (isn't that true everywhere?). I don't know how many the temporary local job markets can absorb--may try to get some info to answer your question and if I do, I'll put it in here. From what I've seen, the majority appear to people who are displaced and in desperate need of temporary help. I suspect quite a few over here at this time have little left except the clothes on their backs, and no reason to complain about what's being done for them. TX has very tight welfare laws--and provisions for bending them for disaster relief. This issue is complicated because it crosses a state line. This is an effort that cannot be accomplished in a one hour time slot with 4 commercial breaks. And it seems that more and more people seem to think and expect that things can be made to happen that fast in real life. RE MT, in so many words: Help a dog--you have a friend for life. Help a man..... (you know the rest) A scholarship would be a good start.
