    Should America ship it's homeless to Mexico?

    That would be great for america wouldn't it.? Well - that's what
    mexico does to us. They send all their trash here in the form of
    illegal aliens.. Mexico is NOT a third world country - there is lots
    of opportunity there but many cannot make it and so mexico tells them
    to go to el norte. We get the illiterate, the insane, the criminal,
    the unskilled, and the lazy. We also get a lot of disease ridden
    people, again like the homeless. Drug resistant TB has returned to
    america thanks to the invasion of illegal scum.

    Supporters of illegals are either Hispanic, insane, or traitors.

    Ok so let me get this straight ...

    The threads title starts with; "Should America ship it's homeless to Mexico?"

    ... then the body has bla bla bla bla bla ...

    ... the concludes with "illegals are either Hispanic, insane, or traitors".

    So ... am I to assume the OP believes that America's homeless are illegals that are either Hispanic, insane, or traitors?


    Wow ... wishing the GOP and it's supporters well in that re-branding effort.

    Agree with your criticism of the illogic of the OP till you extend that illogic with your last statement.

    When you look at what actually comes out of the mouths of Conservatives, the GOP and Fox News, along with what their supporters actually write on the internet ... it's obvious what they really believe and value.

    That's why I can't wait for CPAC ... because is the event where Republicans Values and their Conservative Republican Platform is articulated to the Nation.

    There's no denying the actual words that come from their own mouths ...

    Look ... just like most things that are said on this forum and throughout America ... I an simply "reading" the physical and actual "words" that are written in this Thread, and thus I interpret them exactly as they are physically written.

    FACT: this thread associates and attributes Homelessness with illegals that are either Hispanic, insane, or traitors?


    I agree that there are Homeless people who maybe illegal
    I agree that there are Homeless people who maybe Hispanic
    I agree that there are Homeless people who maybe insane
    I agree that there are Homeless people who maybe
    traitors

    Would you also agree that there could possibly be other types of Homelessness?



    I ... just like many other "people" in America ... read these actual words and how they are written and interpret them as defined in the English dictionary. Now if this means something other than the way it's defined in the English Dictionary that I'm unaware of ... then by all means please explain.

    Wealthy San Francisco tech investors want homeless gone...

    San Francisco homeless: New plan to clear tents off streets
    Fri, 21 Oct 2016 - Wealthy San Francisco tech investors are bankrolling a law to ban the city's homeless from pitching tents - will it work?
    Tent camps have become one of the most prominent and controversial symbols of San Francisco's problem with homelessness. The camps have sprung up along streets and under overpasses, swelling in some cases to 30 or 40 tents. They have divided opinion in a city which has seen an influx of well-paid tech workers in recent years but struggled to house its poorer citizens. Now a new ballot measure, backed financially by tech investors and to be voted on by residents next month, is proposing to introduce laws against the tent camps.


    A homeless man sleeps in front of his tent along Van Ness Avenue in downtown San Francisco, California

    Proposition Q would give the city the right to tear down camps and remove residents' belongings. Police would have to give 24 hours notice and find a shelter for anyone they turf out. Supporters say the measure prioritises housing over dangerous camp environments. Opponents say it is yet another move to criminalise the homeless. Here's what you need to know about Prop Q.

    How would it work on the street?

    In theory, a police officer or other city worker would offer someone sleeping in a tent a room in a shelter for the night, or a paid bus ticket out of the city to a family member or friend, under the city's existing "Homeward Bound" programme. If the homeless person refused, they would be given 24 hours notice to dismantle their tent and vacate the site. If they failed to comply, the city would remove the tent and store the owner's possessions for up to 90 days.

    Who's supporting it, and why?

    Prop Q was drawn up and sponsored by Mark Farrell, a San Francisco city supervisor. Mr Farrell told the BBC that the camps had become "the symbol of the city's homeless problem" and were "some of the most dangerous places you can imagine". "From documented rapes, to fires, to tonnes and tonnes of waste - these camps are a significant strain on our public safety resources," he said. Mr Farrell and Prop Q's other advocates say no one will be moved on from a camp unless there is a guaranteed bed for them that night.

    He said that allowing the camps to remain and providing water or other assistance would encourage homeless people to come to the city. "If word got out... we would see a massive influx of tent camps in the city," he said. Mr Farrell said he "completely rejected" the accusation that the law would criminalise the homeless. "This is about rejecting dangerous living environments and prioritising shelter and housing," he said.

    So who's opposing it, and why?
