"The number of homeless children in the U.S. has surged in recent years to an all-time high, amounting to one child in every 30, according to a comprehensive state-by-state report that blames the nation's high poverty rate, the lack of affordable housing and the impacts of pervasive domestic violence."
And what does our hapless president do to fix the problem - oh yeah, he brings in more homeless children for political purposes. What a compassionate guy. Liberalism at it's finest.

How about the number of American vets and elderly that can't find affordable housing? I also see more and more seniors who can no longer remain in their homes because of their health and there is little to no help for them. They have to be flat-a**ed broke to get any help. If they are a couple and both seniors it's even harder because of their combined incomes puts them over the "poverty" limit much of which is only SS. I'd like to see our government start focusing on them as a priority for a change rather than importing the world's poor children and adults into our country.
This is what happens when America is the only western nation without national healthcare. So sad but true. Sure, we have some socialized benefits program but not enough. Lack of affordable housing is another major issue for both the elderly and many low-income families.
Weird, declining wages, with massive income increases going to the top produces homeless kids? Imagine that.
And a Republican congress and senate.......what will they do?
You guys got control....do something!
Ohhhh wait....they're poor they must be bad. Those kids should get a job right? Maybe if we removed the minimum wage this would get resolved...or maybe some more tax breaks right?
