They should stay in sanctuary cities.

This is another weird RW talking point. The right loves to say "but what about homeless vets" yet I have yet to see a single GOP sponsored bill that would take care of homeless vets.

Let's just throw the vets on the street, right?
These non-citizen migrants who entered illegally are more entitled, right?
Don't you love your tax dollars going toward housing people who entered illegally and have given nothing to this country?

Unless you can point to a Republican-sponsored bill to help homeless vets, this is just whataboutism and concern trolling. And before you ask "why does it have to be Republican-sponsored" - it's because whenever Dems try to do anything they get shut down by Republicans for trying to "give free sh*t to moochers" - that's why.

Where would liberals be without their catch phrases

And to add capacity would be difficult, as DC is one of the most expensive places in the country, not to mention the massive amount of inertia in making anything happen - for example it's already been taking a decade plus to replace existing, ailing low-income housing like Greenleaf.

They should be sent somewhere that has cheap real estate and low cost of living but also capacity to build up services to support them.

Anything else would be a massively inefficient and wasteful use of what limited resources exist for dealing with it.

Doesn’t exist.

Plenty of places in Iowa, Nebraska, Kansas type places. My God, everyone gets waterfront nowadays? Weren't the migrants throwing out fresh packaged meals because they deemed those meals "not good enough"? I mean, I would love to stay at a hotel for free - free cable, free pool, free maid service......

They weren't taking the food because the city was providing too much food. And the hotel - not the city - was throwing the food out, rather than giving it to the homeless or anyone else who might want it. And if you think it's such a great life you're welcome to swap with them and walk a mile in their shoes. I bet your opinion would change then.

What, that we constantly catch you and describe you with accurate phrases? Yeah, what about it?

The best solution here is to let them set up tents on a few lanes of Connecticut Avenue. They then can support the local businesses while reducing commuter traffic and making the whole area safer.
