Every day thing here. And not just one or two.
This is even happening near two schools. A grade school being one of them. There's a encampment right between the two schools behind business buildings. Several homeless there. I never approach the encampment though. They get very abusive when anyone does.
Please bear in mind the population here isn't more than 32,000.
Definitely not a big city, where it's worse.
Bus stops are often where single homeless sleep. And kids often use the bus line.
This is only going to get worse. As long as affordable housing is ignored. There simply isn't any work accept minimum wage jobs, which you can't afford housing.
So you need to both increase the minimum wage as well as lower the cost of housing.
Not going to happen as long as the greed keeps happening.

@DeWayfarer Why do you think there’s a shortage of affordable housing? Could it have anything to do with millions of undocumented people coming over the border every year? seems that they are getting priority over working class citizens these days

@cherokeepatti these are not even Hispanic. Black, white, Asians you name it. All speak English like natives.
The shortage of housing isn't even a shortage. Yet they are asking for too much to rent so they remain vacant.
These people are being kicked out! No industry here! Local government doesn't want to encourage industry.

@DeWayfarer bull there are Euro gypsies that were here begging at busy intersections last summer and they are coming over the southern borders along with Chinese and other nationalities

@cherokeepatti the biggest push is mostly from south America. You're talking about a minority in comparison. A few hundred is not hundreds of thousands from South America.
There's so few those of types they are able to hide in the masses. People from one area do stick together though.
The coyotes don't charge them any more or less to illegally cross the border. They don't care if you're a family or not.
Why single children are crossing as well. Taking advantage of child immigration laws. Children actually get priority and settled into homes. The kids then get harassed for the payment and leave their new homes.
Kids don't know about US laws. They only know they are being threatened.
BTW there's a documentary about this child immigration problem on Scripps news.
All of the kids are Hispanic and placed into Hispanic homes. The kids still run away. Because they are being threatened. This is happening in small towns in the Midwest.
Here there are no such kids! Kids are extremely controlled here! Police often call child protective services when they spot them.
The problem in the Midwest is lack of funding for child protective services!
This was documented on that show! The police can do nothing about the problem without a strong child protective service!
Now why is that? Greed!
Greed by the coyotes, greed by the politicians and greed by the corporations that refuse to pay taxes for such services.
