Less than a week after a massive clean-up of homeless encampments on the Venice Beach Boardwalk, new arrivals continue to swarm the area, DailyMail.com can reveal.

City officials promised they would return at the end of July to finish the job, but residents and shop owners say enough is enough, and tell DailyMail.com that last week's sweep was 'all for show'.

Last week, a concerned resident who asked not to be identified captured a couple on video taking up camp near the popular boardwalk.

Exactly.

They need to do what the locals did when my stepdad was growing up (he is 90 years old): all of the men rounded up and ran the criminal element out of town; it was a scouring of the shire — and they had no more problems for years afterwards.

England used to transport these types to penal colonies (of which the USA was one, or at least part of the USA). Too bad we don’t have an island in the Hawaii chain dedicated solely to housing chronic vagrants, and another one dedicated to housing the worst of our criminals.

You've heard of "BluBlocker Sunglasses"?

Demonrats perfected the use of BlightBlocker Sunglasses.

"That is not a knock, but I have seen red states flip before, and TX is going to soon."

They undoubtedly will if the flow of people from CA, OR and WA to TX has a higher percentage of liberals amongst them.
That, and TX has a far larger border with MX than any other state and those hundreds of thousands of poor foreign nationals pouring in every month are not all being sent to the interior. They will all be voting for more biden handouts in 2022 and beyond.

I know of people (friends of family members) who are moving from the Portland area to Austin TX because of the ongoing violence in Portland. Liberals who are effectively going from one liberal city to another, but with far greater statewide (& thus nation wide) affects.

If you want change, then stop voting for the same Democrats that are running your city. If you don’t want to, then deal with it.

If Texas was smart they would keep the Cubans coming over the border into Texas for themselves.

“They wait until the problem is so out of control they can’t fix it.”

So they come up with an equally insane idea to “fix” the first insane idea.
= = =

And they want the problem to get so bad that normally freedom loving people will sacrifice that freedom for some perceived security. (More rules, ‘law’ enforcement, ... , martial law, etc.)

Audit the vote and it will flip back red so fast even a Democrat will get a nose bleed.

A 20 inch piece of hose loaded with # 6 lead shot will also do the trick!

Yeah, and they’ll keep on voting Democrat. They’re beyond help. They need to suck it up and we need to leave them to it.
