This is from a U.N. “expert”?
Translated: a hyper-biased and partisan report from people who deeply hate Trump and republicans and will go to great lengths to scew facts and data to make them look as bad as possible while covering up the consequences of liberal policies and culture.

They aren't wrong, they are just very biased as to where they want to place all the blame.

San Francisco's Homeless Camps Expose The Failure Of A Liberal Utopia


We can look at and blame many things such as drug use on the rising numbers of homeless but it is tough to blame Trump on this when unemployment rates across the spectrum are down.



I cannot consider the homeless problem say in California without considering their love for illegal aliens that costs that state a reported $25 Billion per year or $2370 per household.

Imagine if the illegal aliens were cleared out and that $25 Billion could be put to use helping the homeless?

The Democrats of California do not care about the homeless but they sure want to help the illegal aliens.

Why?
Truth! ^^^

Everything is somehow Trump's fault. In my opinion, one of the considerations of MAGA is the concept of self-sufficiency coupled with putting people back to work. Time to get on board the Trump train or be left standing on the platform wondering why you're living out of a shopping cart.

There, that will save them a lot of typing.

Nah they'll type it again just because. They bathe in the tears of the less fortunate.

This is the same old soft commie propaganda from the Far Left UN that has come under every administration, to include that of Obama and before. Nothing is good enough. There is no appeasing them.

Tell me, if poverty is worsening and deepening, how does that not invalidate the conflicting UN call for increased migration that will further dilute the labor pool, suppress wages, and increase the poverty rate?

The answer is that this contradiction doesn't matter because their goal isn't to end poverty.

Their goal is to both increase the labor pool and suppress wages via immigration, and thus suppress the ability to advance to the middle class.

At the same time encouraging a culturally supressive political environment by speciously shifting the power to the ever impoverished proletariat (thus enabling political suppression and elimination of the middle class).

That's what this conflicting "poverty" agitation implies.

The same exact process occurred in the Soviet Union, except without the increased mass immigration economic pressure. This is much worse and it instead involves the entirety of the West.
