Foreign homeless people have additional issues besides mental illness and substance abuse. It's never discussed, but it will become known.
I stopped to help Katay because I saw a Rocklin, CA police officer telling her to move on, which I thought was illegal. But I was to regret getting involved with her. I immediately gave her nearly $500 in groceries for herself and her kids, 4 gallons of milk, many packages of steaks, but she wouldn't let me see where she was staying. The most I ever got was her phone and her husband Mario's phone. (She was Venezuelan, he was Italian, the patois they would have spoken is informally titled Italogno.) She would pester me for more and more money. I tried to pose my involvement with her in terms of a small, private, non-501C3 family charity, Showers on Wheels, it gave baby showers to Moms who chose life. According to our rules, Katay had to provide an address. Despite the money I gave her, she never trusted me. "¿Cuál es su dirección postal?", what is your mailing address?, I repeatedly queried her. It was a requirement of our charity for giving out assets. She would never respond, so I "ghosted " her.
So it was no surprise to me when I recently stopped to give $40 to some migrant women of no fixed abode, that they would barely look at me, except to smirk. When you give to a homeless person, you don't just brush them off as undesireables, you ask them their names, you look in their eyes, you shake their hands, when they say "bless you" you say "thank you for the blessing", when they thank you, you thank them back. What I saw from these women was that in their own country, they were homeless people there; their coming here wasn't any urgent thing, anymore than anything is urgent for a homeless person, it was merely a better dodge or scam, they could get more, better and easier here. So their smirk at me was completely appropriate. I asked their names, they replied perfunctorily but without looking at me in the eyes, and barely exchanged the minimal social amenities of thanking me. They then went back to their conversation, pointedly ignoring me. I have never deprecated a homeless person, but I was deprecated by them
I hope I am not displeasing God when I say, that the only way I could imagine taking an unaccompanied minor, would be if I had a shed out back where they could come and go, but with an aggressive dog that would stop them from establishing a messy encampment on my land. (An article I wrote here was deleted, advocating that the chief consideration about dealing with homeless people, is elementary civic sanitation, the kinds of issues involved in the transmission of cholera and typhoid.)
This is under "conspiracy" and "politics", because, ever since during the Reagan administration it was decided by "the responsible players" that American jobs would be shipped offshore, it has been done against the laws and the interests and the customs of this country. (Victor Davis Hanson's latest speech, September 8 at Hillsdale College, highlights how in the Ancient Greek world, effective borders and ethnic homogeneity would have been the baseline merely for having a country.)
LOL.

Gullible much?
Duuuude. :/
With this regime?
Not a chance unless they catch you exploiting them.
ICE’s new mission is to protect illegal aliens from their employers and anyone else who might exploit them.
You are a very generous person and to a fault.
A bit of advice from someone who has worked with the homeless.
Never introduce yourself, never give them your name, never shake hands with them.This is all for your personal protection.
In regard to giving them something like food, money, etc... DONT
There are Social Services of the local area homeless shelters, food pantries, TANF - Temporary Assistance for Needy Families, Food Stamps and Emergency foodstamps, vouchers from Salvation Army for clothing, householdgoods, etc.
Make a list for yourself with contact numbers if needed but NEVER EVER engage because the example you are citing has access to all this and more.
Its a grift
For example, in my time spent there was a homeless woman who begged on the street while having benefits and sleeping in a shelter.
She was eventually placed in a apartment with full benefits including $$’s from state sources.
One day a friend of mine and I were driving to Burger King and at the entrance to the parking lot she set up shop with a folding chair and sign saying she needed “ help - anything is appreciated”.
We looked at each other and busted out laughing.
The only thing we should be doing is flying every illegal alien invader back to where they came form.
Maybe foreigners shouldn’t be allowed to come here destitute.
“..set up shop with a folding chair”
There were two well-abled guys that would take turns in the wheelchair with their “disabled need help” signs.
My wife and I have monthly donations to various places. The local groups help homeless people and are Christian based, and require sobriety, drug free, etc. to use their services (housing, education, job training and having actual jobs).
I have been known to give a bottle of cold water on a hot day on occasion.
“The only thing we should be doing is flying every illegal alien invader back to where they came from.”
Foreigners are determining what we read.
giving is supposed to be to help US as well to whomever we give....
could I take in a unaccompanied child?....in a NY minute.
No good deed goes unpunished.
Take care of your own affairs.
You can’t save the world, just yourself.
Whoa! Explain this again slowly so I can understand. You gave 3 or 4 carts full of groceries to a “homeless” person so they could take all that food (including several gallons of milk) and store them where? Dear person, you are either gullible, a fool, or a liar! Fess up!
I have a bridge to sell you ,pal! Geeez.
House an illegal and they will own everything you have and you will be kicked out of your own house with this regime. People still can’t evict a dead beat tenant. Imagine how many right an illegal alien has.
