Ah the benefits of being a sanctuary city. The flies come with them.
Bingo....and a lot more
Not every bad thing can be blamed on illegals, despite the many problems they do cause. A lot of this is happening around the skid row area of L.A. and the population of of those homeless crosses all race boundaries. Right now my SIL is a foreman on a huge high rise complex two blocks away from skid row and he says that it's unbelievable how much drug use of all kinds is occurring out in the open all day long and that a large number of the people he sees have serious mental issues.
So really it's more like, Ah the benefits of the ACLU and liberals for first ensuring that all the mental institutions were closed, because we were violating the rights of the insane by keeping them safe and on their medications(yes there were abuses) and for now stirring up legal and public outcry if the police actually try to enforce the law and clean up areas. You have no idea what they pulled to try and stop Orange County from cleaning the vagrants out from the Santa Ana river bed along the 57 freeway.
Also the press loves to use the homeless moniker when most of the people are actually just vagrants that prefer to live the way they do so they aren't bothered by pesky little things like laws or morals.
