Although it doesn’t really matter, but you can’t entirely blame “California” for the homeless crisis in the state. First the feds allowed unfettered illegal immigration, most of which ended up in California. Most of the homeless were displaced from their jobs and homes by illegal aliens. We didn’t really even vote these jokers into town; we just got outnumbered by immigrants and their children, who don’t know anything other than vote Democrat.
But regardless of the cause, it’s a humanitarian crisis that is beyond the capability of local and state governments to solve. Federal action is required.

I spent the first eighteen years of my life in California, in the San Joaquin Valley where the illegal alien problem was at its worst. They have been coming into the US illegally since the 30’s. And the state allows them to be hired, gets them citizenship or protection, voting rights, and hides them from state or federal taxes. I have no idea where you got the idea the feds let them in. They’ve been coming into the US illegally for four generations. And the state is the major player in allowing them to get in and to stay. They even had the ultra liberal 9th circuit in California over turn a conviction of a guy that was leaving bottled water in the desert so they can get water when they illegally cross the border going through the desert.

Not getting water was a deterrent to stop them. Now they can cross illegally without a problem coming up the through Joshua Tree Park next to Highway 10 right into San Bernardino. Then up into the agricultural areas to the north in the San Joaquin. It’s been a path out of Arizona for more years than I’ve been alive.
