At one time we had vagrancy laws. If you weren’t gainfully employed or had legitimate business to conduct or were invited to stay with a friend or relative in a jurisdiction, you were run out of town. This was well before liberalism trumped common sense.

Yes, and at one time we had debtor’s prisons, or “work houses” where the homeless were put into forced servitude. Just because we had things in the past doesn’t mean they were just or proper.
