Yep.

A job fair was held in downtown Atlanta to help the evacuees find work....

Only a pathetically small handful of evacuees showed up.... 95% of the attendees were locals.

The Katrina refugees were apparently too busy enjoying their free hotel rooms and apartments, waiting for the next handout.
