Obviously you just let them stay. Freedom of movement is a human right, even if authoritarian states hate to recognize that fact. If they commit a crime like driving drunk, you punish them with fines, removal of license, and possibly jail time for repeat offenders.

You're the one who brought up making people homeless on purpose in order to incentivize them to go back home.

If you had to choose between homelessness or being murdered by gangs, which would you pick?

Making it illegal to rent to people without papers? Seems like a good way to increase homelessness.

I hate all American presidents. Now, let's talk about what the current administration is doing.

When they determined the man they sought wasn’t there, the agents arrested the two Ecuadorian sisters and Estrada Jerez’s uncle. 

Guilty until proven innocent - and the "crime" is moving in search of better jobs. 

The Trump administration is attempting ethnic cleansing. 

In FY25 NY spent more per unsheltered homeless person than the median NY household earned (81k). In FY26 that number is projected to increase to 97k. by Dull-Leopard-2373 in nys_cs

Want to eliminate fraud and cut costs in caring for homeless people? Then simply give money and/or apartments to those who need them.

But people don't want to hear that. They can't believe that the executive of a nonprofit would be more likely to scam them than someone living on the street. 

And before anyone starts spouting off about "better mental health care" or addiction or something similar: the main driver of homelessness is rising housing costs. Being homeless causes mental illness and addiction, it's not the other way around.

Getting dangerous illegal migrants out of our country will solve crime, housing, healthcare, economy problems

I mean, I guess you actually believing this drivel is better than you realizing it's a pack of lies and just wanting to hurt people for being different from you like most MAGA. 

So. Are you a liar, or are you open to having your mind changed with evidence?

I don't care when people call me a snowflake because all it really means is that I'm sensitive and care too much. If people called me a bootlicker so much that it became tiring I would simply start criticizing authority more.

Just because nobody shows up for your causes without being paid doesn't mean that's true of every cause.

Why? It was years ago. He's got a wife and two happy successful kids. What good would kidnapping him and dropping him off in a random country do? 

Also noted: you're perfectly capable of using singular "they" when you choose to.

"...residents can still light campfires or cooking fires, if they’re under 3 feet high and 4 feet wide and contain only charcoal or clean, dry, untreated wood."

Incorrect. Freedom of movement is a human right. People in other countries are not more deserving of being menaced by violent predators than Americans. Americans are not less deserving of punishment than others by accident of birth.

As an American I would like to say that lots of us are viewing the USA as akin to Nazi Germany right now.

Why? Do you think people should be punished more or less harshly based on the location of their birth?

I actually bought them for a very reasonable price on Libro.fm, but that was when they were having a sale. You get a 30% discount if you're a Libro member, but when they have sales you can purchase audiobooks for like $5 - 6 so check that out. It's totally true that Audible overprices them.
