This is too funny. D.C. Mayor Muriel Bowser and supporter of D.C. as a sanctuary city declares that non-residents be not allowed in D.C. homeless shelters. She's in a pissing match with city council of her plan to reward campaign donors with city contracts for creating shelters in their private facilities.

Hey, why don’t they just call them refugees and they can soak the American people for $6000 a month like they do with the illegals all over the country?

[I want the USA back]

How can they be residents of anything? They are HOMELESS. They don’t have a residence.

[Gunner TLW]

Oh, I love this! YES, YES, let’s do stop serving those who are not LEGAL Residents!

I’d never would have assumed that the Mayor of DC could both agree with me and set a rational approach to Illegal Immigration!

Expect to hear more stories about the homeless now that Trump is President

Homeless residents?

Wowser, Bowser!

If you are homeless you have no residence. Therefore you cannot be a resident. So all homeless are non-residents. Close the shelters and give ‘em all a bus ticket to someplace warm and a box lunch.

As Costs to Shelter Homeless Grow, D.C. Mayor Wants Non-City Residents Out Posted on November 29, 2016.

How do the homeless prove residency?

[aquila48]

If you shelter and feed them... they will come.

“If we are serving everybody else’s residents, we can’t serve our own,” Bowser said during a Mayor-Council breakfast Tuesday morning. “We have an obligation to serve our residents, but we cannot serve the entire region.”

I wonder if DC is legally obligated to house everyone who is homeless, like New York City. We have to keep tourists sheltered, even, if they are left without a place to stay. The situation here is getting out of control, as I’m sure DC’s is also. It’s all over the country in the Obama economy.

[Billthedrill]

I’ll help that family from Chicago pack up and get out on 20 January. It’s something.

[InABunkerUnderSF]

For eight years we have heard nothing of the homeless. What could possibly have happened to cause their return?

[RU88]

I suppose eight consecutive “Summer’s of Recovery” just weren’t enough to get the ballooning homeless population over the hump. Trump will be blamed.

“If we are serving everybody else’s residents, we can’t serve our own,” Bowser said during a Mayor-Council breakfast Tuesday morning. “We have an obligation to serve our residents, but we cannot serve the entire region.”

Why can't Dems see this on a National level?

[DoughtyOne]

Build the services, “They will come.”

Didn’t this guy see the movie? “:^)

If a person is homeless, how does the mayor determine if (s)he is a DC resident?

[Nuocmam]

By definition, a resident is someone who lives in a place for a period of time.
If a person, no matter where the person comes from, lives in a homeless shelter for a period of time or even on a park bench, heating grate, etc., doesn’t that person in fact fit the definition of a resident of the location in which the facility is located?
A homeless person who occupies a shelter space in DC but conducts business in Northern Va or MD is simply commuting from residence to workplace. Same as those who commuted to DC to work and then return to their residence in other locals.

Will they need to show ID”s?
