Pictures of homeless and drug addicts in Philadelphia. They literally litter the streets.

https://www.dailymail.co.uk/news/art...stay-feet.html

It is sad and if a drug addict is hanging out on the street not stealing, robbing etc maybe it's no so bad. Unless your a business owner or have to travel through that area of the city.

One would figure this Democratically controlled sanctuary, Soros DA city those homeless would be taken care of. I bet there are local politicians foaming at the mouth wanting to take some illegal border crossers.

This is truly tragic and it is only going to get worse.

How can this stand in America? What are our elected doing to help these people? Why do we send Billions of dollars to foreign countries when US citizens are sleeping on the streets? Why is there more concern for the welfare of the "migrants" at the border than for US Citizens? One has to wonder if the "migrants" would be in such a rush to cross that border if instead of having every need taken care of by the Government they would be thrown onto streets like these to fend for themselves?



It is a disgrace.

Unless most Americans are in favor of ignoring our own poor, helpless, disenfranchised citizens, and putting more effort into helping the poor, helpless, and disenfranchised abroad, then apparently our representative republic is no longer representing the republic.

Addicts are not home grown. They come from outside the area and gather in cities because cities give them better access to everything. Many of them are from conservative rural Bible thumping towns, they got addicted, moved to the cities, and now they're the Democrats' problem.

75% of homeless get off the streets within a year. They do get help and it's been reasonably effective. The problem is our crap hole nation is producing homeless faster than we can get them off the streets.

They're the Democrat's problem? What if the governor of the state with big city homelessness is a Republican? He or she wants no part of the problem from thinking that the homeless are low class people not worthy of help, especially from the government? Maybe it's everybody's problem.

Dont we have a federal agency that is tasked with keeping these dangerous and addictive drugs OFF OUR STREETS?!!


Why are we still funding this agency for petes sake? The drug problem is out of control, everything they have tried has failed miserably.

Surely if all the drugs are in the cities, then addicts are home grown some of them, if not most of them. Even if people that become addicts lived outside before becoming addicts, its the cities that allow drugs to prevail in their cities. How may that be accomplished? By allowing your city to become a sanctuary city, the drug dealers can hide amongst. Or the local port authority doing a lackadaisical job checking the cargo.

While doing some quick research apparently this street has been a problem since 2011.

https://www.thedailybeast.com/philad...-and-no-police

Yet Philadelphia Mayor gets giddy when the city wins a suit involving sanctuary city status.

So welcoming to illegal immigrants yet ignorant of existing homeless and drug addict populations.

Doing similar on the west coast treating illegal border crossers better than existing homelss populations.

The bulk of these drugs come into the US thru the Mexican border, TX has 'hubs' where the drugs are then sent out to other cities, its a very complex network, but they are consistently able to keep nearly every city in the US fully supplied, at all times!

Kensington Avenue was a dump when I lived in Philadelphia back in the 1980s and 1990s. Apparently it hasn't gotten any better.
