FEMA UPDATE: We feel like we were
in a concentration camp
But inside the tent
city, which has room for thousands but was only sheltering a couple of hundred
on Friday, no one had heard anything about a move – or about anything
else. “They treat
us like we’re prisoners,” says Ashley Sabol, 21, of Seaside Heights , New Jersey . “It’s bad to say, but we honestly
feel like we’re in a concentration
camp.“
The post-storm housing
— a refugee camp on the grounds of the Monmouth Park racetrack – is in lockdown,
with security
guards at every door, including the
showers.
No
one is allowed to go anywhere without showing their I.D. Even to use the
bathroom, “you have to show
your badge,” said Amber Decamp, a 22-year-old whose rental was washed away in
Seaside Heights , New Jersey .
In the aftermath of
this disaster, as well as the Hurricane Katrina debacle, it should be clear
where the government’s priorities are.
They’ll buy billions of
rounds of ammunition and won’t hesitate to put 30,000
drones into the skies over America, but when it comes to
helping Americans who have lost everything, they are woefully
unprepared.
This begs the
question, what
happened to the hundreds of millions of emergency rations,
emergency blankets and supplies that were supposedly regionalized
by the Department of Homeland Security fully two years
ago?
