“'Additional people.'” That’s us.
The new kids on the block, all across America. It’s a better term than “evacuees,” which sounds so temporary and fraught with emergency…
It’s funny, but out there in the Great Elsewhere that is America, New Orleans seems to get most or all of the focus of the national media.
