I don't even care anymore. Republicans can have them. MS sending national guard when the murder rate there is 5 times higher. WV? OH? People escape these places. DC sends tax money for those people to be on medicaid. Oh what, the republican members of congress voted to kick their own people off. Who was trying to prevent this? Democrats.

I’m way more worried about the out of uniform masked bounty hunter doughy inbreds out there kidnapping people in cars with no plates.

Yep lots of white militia types and private contractors work on a bounty system. No one questions them and no one will prosecute them.

That’s why they fight so hard against law-enforcement identification. Those bums try to operate under the protections offered to law-enforcement.

This is 100% anecdotal, but since they have been clearing the encampments I have seen an uptick in unhoused persons lying on streets/sidewalks/bus stops. I doubt anything was done to actually help these people, and now with no place to sleep, they've resorted (back?) to sleeping on the street. So homelessness is actually more visible now.

The congress force a blllion of our own money in cuts. What you suggest would be feasible with resources to pay the landlord and procure the needed supplies. Oh well.

It isn't about lack of housing only. Nobody likes to live near homeless shelters or low income/no income housing because of people loitering outside doing drugs or whatever. For example, in SF Tenderloin area (drug infested skid row) there are many junky "hotels" that provide housing and not all the people you see hunched over or laying around are homeless. Yet they are making the area look like skid row, which is what residents of any city do not want. Homeless shelters are practicing extreme measures to avoid this activity, but not in the right way. They become too restrictive and prison-like to the point that homeless needing help and wanting to recover or get jobs cannot use them. They restrict times of entry making it hard for people working weird shifts to use them a housing. They don't allow couples even if married or pets, which means that homeless who are couples or have pets have to surrender their loved ones to get a roof over their head. Shelters are very helpful as temporary spaces, but they aren't housing. But just providing housing also isn't going to help many homeless who are addicts or have mental health issues and need caretakers because they can't even take care of themselves not to mention their dwelling.

Meaning if you’re here illegally and get pulled over for even a simple traffic violation, adios!

I don’t really understand the hostility to illegal immigrants. They do jobs that Americans won’t do. They work cheap. They work hard. And if you’re an American and you have a job that’s threatened by some guy who just got here from Guatemala who doesn’t even speak English, you are a complete and total loser.

I’m a Dem and moderate on immigration stuff. I really think jobs are less an issue but if you live in a community with lot of undocumented immigrants it does put a major strain on both public schools and ER/hospitals. My family lives in a border state and it’s a big issue for hospital access/beds. And it’s hard to argue that it hasn’t affected schools like McPS — handling little children who don’t speak English is pretty easy because they learn so quickly but when you get older teens who haven’t really been to school before and also don’t speak English, that is a major burden that we just sloughed onto public school teachers. I don’t do. Off C I docs. I I lol. I d I dthink we democrats do ourselves any favors by pretending that those issues aren’t true and don’t need some kind of solution.

Racist.

No, im not. But there’s an issue with R business owners hiring these workers and then externalize the costs of that onto teachers and ER nurses (themselves mostly lower paid folks). I agree with a PP that we need immigrant workers and should welcome them

Because our educational system is terrible and people are willing to vote against their own interests. I mean, look at all of the marks whining about Biden when he worked so hard to rescue red states from their own ignorance, while they cheer the current admin for taking away their rights and killing their jobs and taking away their EANRED entitlements.

In this video, (presumably) federal agents on the streets of DC, wrestle a man to the ground, tase him, hide their identities with masks, refuse to identify themselves or what agency they work for, and one suggests a political motive to bystanders.
