Illegal migrants flooding the US are contributing to what could be the highest number of homeless in the country since the data were first recorded, with cities draining their coffers to fund shelters, a report says.
At least 550,000 people were reported homeless in January — the same month the US notched the highest number ever of border crossings, according to an analysis by the Wall Street Journal.
The disturbing homeless figure was at least 10% more than January 2023, a year that had the highest overall annual tally since 2007, when the government started reporting its own figures, the outlet noted.
This past January’s tally will presumably end up even higher, since not every city, including the Big Apple, which has a significant homeless population, has reported its data to the government yet.
Given the trend, the country is on track to surpass 2023’s overall dismal historic US homeless figure of 653,000, the report suggested.

Is that number just LA?
Will not really be a problem until Trump takes office.
Not too many Asians or hispanics amongst them. Blacks and whites have too much in common. It’s no wonder the 2 don’t get along.
It’s time to reopen the psychiatric facilities they’ve closed over the past 4 decades and start filling them up... That would take care of most homelessness.

When DJT takes office it’ll be time to dust off all those idle 747s sitting in the Arizona desert,put 550 seats in each one (like the Japanese used to do for domestic flights),and fill every seat with a wetback heading home to Mexico...Guatemala...Haiti...Nigeria...

Life for them is better homeless in America than where they came from.
An engineered crisis designed to disrupt the lives of American citizens and destroy the sovereignty of the United States of America.
Oh, and to drive-down wages and replace American workers.

Now that guy would get my money.
Yup—telling the truth is so rare these days it deserves a reward.
Yeah, I did it! I jumped over the homeless!!!
There is an informative movie called "The Soloist" (Jamie Fox & Robert Downey Jr.). Fox plays a schizophrenic virtuoso cello player who Downey is trying to get off the streets. Fox wants to remain on the streets and not enclosed.
In many scenes of the homeless on streets and those waiting in shelter areas show how crazy and drug addled these people really are. I'm surprised the movie was made. To its credit, it does make the point before the ending credits how sick these folks are and need professional help on a daily basis. Yes, re-open the psyche ward facilities.
That’s because they’re illegally here… And here is not their home.
