So many people from other countries wanting to live in America, probably the most powerful and richest country in the world , they spend billions of $$ on space projects, the military, and donate with a open chequebook to Ukraine and yet I find it hard to believe this homelessness is really happening in USA.

Yes, they should stop spending money on all that useless stuff and give it all for free to dossers on Skid Row. Like they do in Australia and so many other places.

California does, and thus the hordes of tent cities.

The population is squeezed to death by increasingly high taxes to pay for the free stuff and are fleeing to places like Texas.

And bringing their poisonous ideas California ideas with them.

Funny thing about giving away stuff for free to those who pay nothing.

There is never enough free to give away to make them satisfied.

California's GDP dwarfs all other states, they should declare independence and deport all those homeless people from loser states.

i wouldn't call people with a car, rv or truck homeless
Houseless is closer to what they are

Sanctuary policies are those followed by towns, cities, counties, states, and other jurisdictions that restrict most forms of cooperation with federal immigration authorities. While jurisdictions are not compelled by federal law to participate in federal immigration enforcement activities, federal law (8 USC § 1373) prohibits them from actively obstructing enforcement of federal law. In addition, sanctuary policies may violate the supremacy clause of the United States Constitution (Article VI, Clause 2) and the 10th Amendment.

Most importantly, sanctuary policies place the public at risk by preventing the federal authorities from locating, arresting, and prosecuting criminal aliens. The result is that all residents, including legal immigrants and illegal aliens, are in danger of being victimized, even killed, by criminal illegal aliens who benefited from protections afforded by sanctuary policies.
