Stupidity (a/k/a Leftism) has its own consequences! The Trumpsters have their own blind spots, but they have little to do with this. We need to "sweep the streets" and deliver the truly dysfunctional to a place where they can't get out, and liquor, drugs, and Democrats can't get in. Then the problem can be cleaned up, with a strong hand, on a case-by-case basis,
Assuming it was even legal or constitutional, who will pay for such a massive "clean up" effort? Are you willing to see your taxes go up to cover the extraordinary cost this would entail?
So MAGA does not include folks that need a hand? A society will be judged on how it treats its most needy and destitute and how it puts policies in place to improve the quality of life for ALL. The USA is failing miserably as we allow the sociopaths on the right to rule the day. A selfish pandering grifter such as Trump and his equally self-serving kin are merely a symptom of the disease and the final straw of what has been a long time coming. If we do not turn things around and quickly, the USA is a complete failure and a broken relic of the foundation that the founders envisioned...a failed experiment that never reached its desired and intended conclusion.
Philip Alston, U.N. special rapporteur is just doing it for job security.
Sometimes I wonder if Trump and his followers are realizing how much they're shooting themselves in the foot. Most of the poorer states are Republican meaning that there's plenty of poor people in these same states. Plus many of these poor are rural voters who voted for Trump in the last election. While the economy is improving, if what the UN report said is true, that means that the poor are not receiving the benefits to the improving economy.
Something for those who are Conservative/support Trump to think about.

They fell behind under Obama also so what exactly are they suppose to be thinking about?
If you were down on your luck and and looking for a place where you might get some help, would you move to a Republican place?
That can also be said of the illegal aliens that flock to the so called sanctuary cities. If there is a place that will not report you to the Feds, and if you get into trouble the Police will look the other way and that cities leaders will actually step over the homeless citizens to give you a hand then that sounds like a terrific place to hang your hat proudly.
I just think it is wrong and bad policy to help someone that broke the law by being in the country illegally over someone that is down on their luck or struggling with an addiction.
Don't the Dems realize that if the homeless could get back on their feet they might actually vote for the Dems?

So how shall we raise your taxes to build new prisons to put these people?
