Is Trumps new executive order going to help or hinder the homeless?

Trump’s new order redirects federal funds to ensure that homeless people are transferred to rehabilitation centers and other facilities.

It sounds good - but I have to wonder what Trump has in mind when he say’s “other facilities”. Hitler had homeless people moved to “other facilities” but back then they called them considerations camps. Cheers!

    Nice attempt at diversion.  Your "proof" that people are double-dipping is not based on fact.  That was the point I addressed.  

    Until I know what the money receied from tariffs is going to be used for, I can't comment.  For all we know, that money will be used to refurbish and retrofit Trump's gold covered plane from Qatar.

    The money to upgrade the Qatari plane has been taken from defense funding. Something to do with nuclear safety. Almost $1B, so no biggie.

    Seems like ICE has been arresting people based on the color of their skin. Maybe law enforcement will do something similar with this homeless thing.

    Is this person homeless or on his way home from his construction job. 


    Cheers!

    What if homeless people start wearing business attire? That would make it harder to lock them up.

    Hey that sounds like one of those ideas that just might be crazy enough to work. Cheers!

    Seems to me that the Trump team is trying to spin this thing like - all homeless people have mental problems or they are drug addicts – so they need Trump’s help.

    A lot of the homeless are homeless because of the cost of living. The Trump team is also trying to to spin it like – Trump is doing it because Trump cares. I don’t think he cares about the poor – if he did care he wouldn’t of called poor countries Sh*t Hole Countries. Cheers!

    No worries! Once we get rid of those pesky immigrants there will be affordable houses and well-paying jobs for everyone!

    Of course.  Every homeless person is just dying to be out in a field picking fruits and vegetables in the hot sun.

    What some people forget is that those jobs follow the crops. The migrant workers travel  to where the crops are ready and they are provided housing in each location. So if you want to see the country, here's your chance!

    I'm glad I can get out of bed under my own steam, so I don't see myself doing such back-breaking work any time soon.

    I was just reminded of when I couldn't get out of bed by myself (two broken arms and heavy pain meds), it was mostly immigrants who helped me with everything I couldn't do for myself. Those jobs were not the most pleasant either. I don't know their documentation status, but it does occur to me that without immigration, there may soon be a real problem with providing care for the aging Boomer population. I hope all those people cheering on ICE are prepared to care for their family members by themselves.

    I believe there is already a problem with getting enough help both in hospitals and nursing homes.  When my parents were in the nursing home, their care-givers were all immigrants of one stripe or another and no, those jobs are not pleasant ones.  Bad enough to have to clean up after your own parents, imagine doing that with strangers.
