US homelessness explodes after hitting record last year as migrants flood streets

Illegal migrants flooding the US are contributing to what could be the highest number of homeless in the country since the data were first recorded, with cities draining their coffers to fund shelters, a report says.
At least 550,000 people were reported homeless in January — the same month the US notched the highest number ever of border crossings, according to an analysis by the Wall Street Journal.
The disturbing homeless figure was at least 10% more than January 2023, a year that had the highest overall annual tally since 2007, when the government started reporting its own figures, the outlet noted.
This past January’s tally will presumably end up even higher, since not every city, including the Big Apple, which has a significant homeless population, has reported its data to the government yet.
Given the trend, the country is on track to surpass 2023’s overall dismal historic US homeless figure of 653,000, the report suggested.

Not too many Asians or hispanics amongst them. Blacks and whites have too much in common. It’s no wonder the 2 don’t get along.

"How does it feel?
How does it feel
To be on your own
With no direction home
A complete unknown
Like a rolling stone"
Nobody should know that better than JoeBiden's illegal aliens.

It’s time to reopen the psychiatric facilities they’ve closed over the past 4 decades and start filling them up... That would take care of most homelessness.
