San Francisco which saw a 17 percent increase in its homeless population<\/a> and a 45 percent growth in the number of people who are living in vehicles (which may explain Mayor Garcetti\u2019s cheery disposition).<\/p>\n\n\n\nThe pro-illegal alien advocates are bemoaning the fact that people\nwith no right to be in the country will now be denied what they call \u201cthe\nfundamental right to housing\u201d (at the expense of American taxpayers \u2013 they\ndon\u2019t mention that part). But what they aren\u2019t taking into account is that many\nAmericans, including veterans and families with children are denied public\nhousing \u2013 because illegal aliens are occupying available units. And none of\nthem seem to think that it is mean-spirited and cruel to provide public housing\nto trespassing foreign nationals while forcing citizen families and veterans to\nsleep on the streets. <\/p>\n\n\n\n
Nor do any of these politicians seem to give much thought to\nthe impact of the ongoing border crisis that is funneling a hundred thousand\nnew migrants a month into American communities, most of whom lack the\nwherewithal to pay for basic necessities like food and housing, will have on\nthe homelessness crisis. Homelessness, like immigration, is a complex issue\nthat defies simple solutions. But that doesn\u2019t mean we can\u2019t, or shouldn\u2019t take\nlogical steps like barring illegal aliens from public housing and deterring\nstill more from crossing our borders.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
Barring illegal aliens from public housing, as HUD is\nattempting to do, won\u2019t solve the homelessness problem in California, any more\nthan the new sales tax did. But freeing up tens of thousands of taxpayer\nsubsidized units will help somewhat, at least. And that\u2019s a good start. Otherwise,\nlike Mayor Garcetti, we can all just learn to be upbeat because at least where\nwe are isn\u2019t as bad as San Francisco.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
When the U.S. Department of Housing and Urban Development (HUD) announced in April that it was in the process of drafting new regulations to bar illegal aliens from public housing, the reactions from pro-illegal alien politicians were, predictably, shrieks of moral outrage. \u201cCruel,\u201d cried Los Angeles Congresswoman Maxine Waters. \u201cMean-spirited,\u201d howled San Diego Congressman Juan<\/p>\n
