Here,there are generally two types of homeless people. Those with mental health issues, and those with substance issues. It's very unfortunate and sad, but the reality is there is plenty of help if they want to reach out for it.
We spent something like 30 million dollars on one family of illegals, as they drag the whole appeals process out for some years. Protest groups take up their cause, it gets a lot of publicity. But, we said if you come here by boat illegally you will not stay, and so have to keep that line to deter more coming. It's horrible, they seem like a nice family and I'm sure they'd make great citizens, if only they hadn't come by boat and started a family thinking that would secure permanent residency.
A good government should be able to walk and chew gum at the same time, which by and large ours does. It's probably much worse in places that have a distinct class system and struggling economy.
