Enjoyed reading (Scotty Anthony’s) very interesting article today. Somewhere recently I read that 9% of those homeless on the street have families somewhere who they could actually be living with.
It was suggested that cities offer those homeless a one-way paid bus ticket back to their families so that their families could be allowed to care for them.
I thought that was a great idea!!

The United States government is to blame for the homelessness because America born people are forced out of jobs because companies get a tax credit for hiring foreigners and pushing Americans out on the streets. I was homeless and never seen not even 1 foreigner being homeless. The government is handling out green cards like candy on Halloween night. Foreigners are even given federal and state jobs, they giving all the medical assistance and food stamps to them and taking it away from people that is born in the United States. I can even go the doctor because they took away my medical insurance and food stamps. I have a college degree and can only get a minimum wage job.
