Pretty soon tent cities will be popping up around town. NYC will have their own version of LA's skid row!

From your article:

"In the 1970s, before the legal right to shelter existed, many homeless New Yorkers (most of them men) died on the streets and suffered terrible injuries, according to the Coalition for the Homeless, a legal nonprofit that has advocated for unhoused people in the city for more than 40 years."

The right to shelter was never intended to be abused by illegals. Texas is ingenious in what they’re doing: force the leftist states that voted to create the open border to shoulder the burden (or at least some of it). Re: illegals, NYC is finally being forced to reap what they’ve sown.

My point was that in an ideal society, nobody should be homeless anyway. Doesn't matter who it is. Capitalism be damned. Capitalism is the reason why people are coming here in the first place. Putting band-aids on societal issues does not prevent the opening of more wounds. The government is in a deficit, yet "we're" worried about people sleeping on the street. I put "we're" in quotes because it does not apply to me. I see the bigger picture.

I’m not worried about people sleeping in the streets either. In my experience, the vast majority did it to themselves or are so mentally broken they can’t function in society regardless. My experience with the homeless is quite vast as we all know.

Many of the illegal immigrants are from tropical countries. NYC in the winter is no Los Angeles or even San Francisco, CA. In fact, already NYC is chillier especially at night then wherever they migrated from and it isn't winter yet.

Has to be some type of trauma involved. Otherwise we'd be able to identify who would be eventually homeless at time of birth.

Nope, too cold here now. I had to raise my heat to 70 degrees not to feel cold indoors, maybe they will move to LA!

No one owes anyone anything. In this world you are on your own. Most grown ups know this. The sooner you know this, better you are.

Not in the world, but in the USA it's like this as their is a strong belief on individuality.
