Maybe Ca should help the homeless instead of sending California stimulus checks to illegal immigrants.
California also budget $28 million four weeks ago to help immigrants arriving from Mexico.
Much as I would like see the homeless helped, I wonder how they can be helped?
Most of them are no condition to take care of themselves much less hold down a job. How do you help them?
While I completely agree they shouldn’t being throwing taxpayer dollars at illegals, throwing money at the homeless has been useless. The state has spent over $800 million for homeless people during the pandemic. San Francisco already spends over $300 million each year, even outside of the pandemic. That money is utterly wasted on the legions of homeless people who don’t WANT to live a normal life. Giving them money doesn’t do anything for them except enable them in the short term.
If they wanted to actually put a dent in that problem and the violence problem, they’d invest that into mental health programs for everyone.
