#1 Easy: take on the ACLU and open up the state hospitals again. These are untreated mentally ill. Involuntary commitment until they can get the treatment they need. The cruel and unusual punishment is letting them suffer untreated and as prey for drug dealers.

The Dept. of Housing and Urban Development (HUD) estimates there are over 653,104 homeless Americans, in its 2024 report.

DC Swamp 2023-2024 Federal budget donated $195+ Billion of your taxpayer $$$$$ to various countries and Ukraine.

What about the $451 Billion used annually on the 14.5+/- Million Illegals here now?

Then, what about the estimated 35,574 homeless US Veterans?

Why is it the DC Swamp will take care of everyone else, accept our own?

What if there was a US Constitutional Amendment requiring America First?

#4 Someone getting the feeling in the judicial community that they've f*uped for decades trying to play social engineer rather than adhering to and sticking with the 'law'? Those vagrancy laws evolved for a reason. Maybe its time to quit sacrificing good members of the community to murdering insane people who indeed need to be removed from general society.

#5 #1, #3 - He's actually not wrong about that for a large segment of the homeless population, Skid.

'Deinstitutionalization' forced a lot of moderate to serious mentally ill folks back out on the streets and continues to do so today. It's like mainstreaming mentally disabled kids into normal K-12 classrooms where the instruction then focuses on the lowest level of comprehension and ignores any actual learning.

Interesting, but long, read about this from the Kaiser Commission here (pdf).

#6 Doesn't say a municipality has to clear out public usage spaces, just that if they don't its local governments' choice to let them.

No fig leaf for you.

Maybe even call it something snazzy, like Sanctuary City, or Right to Shelter, Foyer sans Frontiers. That should attract and maintain voters.

#8 Most men need a mission. Looking after and providing for a Wife and family are a mission. Women are much the same. I blame Intelligent design.
