It’s Not a “Homelessness Crisis”: It’s Open Borders

Having millions of migrants show up is not a housing problem.

California alone has blown through over $17 billion (much of it looted by special interests linked to the Democratic Party) and homelessness has only gotten worse. The nationwide spending is staggering. And the more money gets spent, the worse the so-called homelessness crisis gets.

In fact, there is no crisis.

There is a population of mentally unstable drug addicts who are being propped up by the left for its own power and profit. The Left keeps claiming that the issue is the cost of housing. It’s not.

And with ‘homelessness’ getting a boost from open borders, the media is hyping the new numbers as evidence that housing is too expensive.

No, that’s not the issue. The AP, as usual, is lying and pushing an agenda. As its own article eventually notes, the issue here is open borders.

Among the most concerning trends was a nearly 40% rise in family homelessness — one of the areas that was most affected by the arrival of migrants in big cities. Family homelessness more than doubled in 13 communities impacted by migrants including Denver, Chicago and New York City, according to HUD, while it rose less than 8% in the remaining 373 communities.

The HUD report notes that, “some communities reported data to HUD that indicated that the rise in overall homelessness was a result of their work to shelter a rising number of asylum seekers coming into their communities” before launching into a full-throated defense of Biden.

Having millions of migrants show up is not a housing problem, it’s an open borders problem.

But Dem cities will use this as a basis to declare that the “homelessness” crisis is getting worse and billions more must be spent on Democrat contractors to ‘fix’ homelessness.
