[From the linked article} “More than half the people experiencing homelessness in the country were in four states: California, New York, Florida, and Washington, with 28% of the nation’s homeless in California alone”
The article does not mention the flood of “unauthorized” immigrants as a factor in homelessness. Ya think that’s because the unauthorized almost immediately find homes? Especially in California? Riiight. Seems to me highly illogical to think there’s no connection between growth of homelessness and the influx of unauthorized persons.
Barely a month ago, on November 16, 2023, the LA Times ran an article under this headline:
“California’s population of unauthorized immigrants has dropped, report says”.
The cited report is by Pew Research. The data is from 2021.
Yet the number of homeless in California continued to grow?
Am I just too cynical to suspect there’s something very wrong with the information available to the public?
1. The LA Times was satisfied to report 2-year old data as “news”. Why?
2. A few news outlets report daily on thousands of unauthorized persons entering the U.S. weekly. How many are homeless? Can California possibly be the only State no homeless unauthorized persons have entered?
3. The Constitution gives sole authority over our national borders to the federal government. If the federales are not keeping data on their operations – why not? If they are keeping data – where are they?
4. The voices of our outnumbered border agents and few news outlets trying to report honestly are ignored or disparaged by Homeland Security Secretary Mayorkas and most of the leading national media. Why?
(My opinion): Not only have the federales failed to protect American borders from this “unauthorized” immigrant invasion, our government could scarcely do more to cover up its failure. Or maybe I’m just too cynical?
