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.

So he’s saying if you’re not an illegal alien criminal invader you are not welcome? I’m confused. Either that, or I’m really pissed.

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

How ironic!

Someone should tell the Mayor: These are just Undocumented D.C. residents!

Aren’t all homeless people residents of no city?

“I think homelessness doesn’t know jurisdictions.”

Oh, I’m pretty sure the homeless understand jurisdictions.

YOUR home is their jurisdiction as long as YOU’RE handing out free stuff.

About 2/3 of the homeless are addicts/alcoholic/mentally ill.

Therefore as such, many will NOT follow rules.

If given a chance to be indoors, to be fed, with rules, many will opt to remain outside, hungry.

No amount of money, no mount of compassion will solve their problems.

(There exists a subfield in Psychology called “Dual-diagnosis” which is aimed at helping substance abusers that are also mentally ill.)

At their very worst they are a very unattractive collection of lost souls.

* speaking as somebody with nearly 23 years sober, and having witnessed a lot of these folks.

Exactly why we need checks on illegal immigration. It’s good to see that some demorats do get it!

Yes, the Democrapt politician mindlessness: Complain about non-city residents taking up DC dollars for housing, while 2 days ago the Mayor declared that DC would be a Sanctuary City. I guess the right side of her mouth doesn’t know/remember what the left side of her mouth said.
