On Friday, President Donald Trump signed an Executive Order (EO) signalling his administration’s prioritization of the nation’s veterans rather than illegals.

The EO will redirect funds from housing for illegals to establish the National Center for Warrior Independence. The Center will be located on the Veterans Affairs campus in West Los Angeles.

A Trump administration official told Fox News, “The new National Center for Warrior Independence will help them and other veterans like them rebuild their lives.”

The initiative will focus and providing shelter, healthcare, and job training to veterans in need and will partner with private organizations to expand support and resources.

I hope President Trump uses one of the vacant, underutilized government buildings in DC. This would provide positive usage for an empty building as well as positive example against all the attacks on DOGE! (Plus, can be easily overseen by Secretary of Defense is Pete Hegseth

“I hope President Trump uses one of the vacant, underutilized government buildings in DC.”

These buildings are already standing.

Former GSA Public Buildings Service Commissioner Dan Mathews, said last year:

“The purpose of the board has never been more relevant than today, given the really low levels of occupancy, Mathews said. “Basically having an EMPTY FEDERAL BUILDING that no one’s going, to doesn’t do anything for the local economy. It’s actually quite a HARMFUL ECONOMIC DEAD ZONE.”

A lot will depend on how these buildings are operated. There are homeless shelters on DC that street people will NOT use. Also, these shelters often give over night sleeping but then put people outside for the day. One sees communities of homeless people clustered in parks with tents, living together. Preferring their independence to being regimented in a building controlled by government.

I wish our current government success in this project, because other governments have not necessarily succeeded with various homeless populations. THe single homeless are more likely to seek independent camping, whereas families may seek shelter and programs, or live temporarily with friends.

In our own country, yesterday it was reported that US immigrants have been paying almost $100 billion in income taxes each year. Now economists expressed concerns that fear of ICE enforcement may cause many worried immigrants to no longer pay these taxes since confidentiality of IRS records is no longer reliable. In other words an amount equal to our Ukraine assistance budget may dry up.

No, absolutely not! Vagrants will no longer define and dictate public welfare.

Absolutely, there will be established requirements for access to the DC VA shelter.

However on the other-hand, the crime of simple vagrancy will no longer be tolerated for the safety of citizens. Vagrants support themselves by begging, scavenging, or petty theft.

Compassionate vagrancy laws serve the public safety by identifying and addressing vagrant issues of: assault and battery, exposure of sexual organs, public urination and defecation while ignoring vagrant drug/alcohol dependency and other mental/psychological vagrant issues.

If illegals don’t have work they’ll leave and Americans will take their place, especially young men who ha e been locked out of the system.

I completely agree with you.

I reposted >gleeaikin’s< post.

The crazy stuff she posted are NOT my views.
I DO NOT want to keep border jumpers here so they pay a few tax dollars to keep funding the Ukraine.

Vagrants support themselves by begging, scavenging, or petty theft.

Two out of three ain't bad.

Also by being buskers; musicians, jugglers or other entertainment, or even day work.

Yeah, but that’s going to be really, really bad optics (as if that much common sense enters the thought processes of a leftist/democrat) so the possibility exists that they may not.

Time will tell.
