Trump pushing for major crackdown on homeless camps in California
Washington Post ^ | Sept. 10, 2019 | Jeff Stein et al.

resident Trump has ordered White House officials to launch a sweeping effort to address homelessness in California, citing the state’s growing crisis, according to four government officials aware of the effort.

The planning has intensified in recent weeks. Administration officials have discussed using the federal government to get homeless people off the streets of Los Angeles and other cities and into new government-backed facilities, according to two officials briefed on the planning.

But it is unclear how they could accomplish this and what legal authority they would use. It is also unclear whether the state’s Democratic politicians would cooperate with Trump, who has sought to embarrass them over the homelessness crisis with repeated attacks on their competency.

Trump’s directive is part of his broader effort in recent months to shine a light on problems in California and a number of major U.S. cities, including Baltimore and Chicago. He has complained about what he says are years of failed Democratic leadership that have led to sustained poverty and crime.

Well.its good to try to do something.

It stuns me, that the liberals believe people have a constitutional right to urinate and defecate everywhere, do drugs anywhere, pitch tents anywhere, and that somehow just tolerating such situations proves that we are liberal.

No. This is bad. Why should the rest of America be on the hook for billions of dollars to clean up a socialistic shithole?

The only measures Trump might consider taking here should be punative. Withold all federal fundings unless and until Commie-fornia cleans up their mess.

I disagree (stay with me). What he is trying to do is get the states to REFUSE to allow the FEDS to fix the problem. This means they will have to admit it IS the state's problem. THEN... Trump can appeal to the public to DEMAND the STATES fix their own PROBLEM.

I think this is good too. It is hard to imagine that Democrat leaders would do anything but assist in every way possible, but of course they will obstruct Pres. Trump, and find a way to convince the homeless that their homelessness is Pres. Trump’s fault. It is disgusting.

How much government money has already been given to California? I would make them account for it.

Interesting observation. Hadn’t thought of that.

Use federal land in California, put them to work cleaning up national parks and other federal areas. Build housing for them so they can be close to their jobs.

I suggest West Hollywood where the fags and most residents hate Trump.
