Bambi Nicole Kuttkuhn was afraid when police came through the I-95 overpass on NW 11th last month, an area where she and some 60 homeless people resided. She said they took some of her belongings, saying they’d been stolen, and forced her and the others to leave. (Snip) Proponents argue that Miami residents are afraid of encampments that block city sidewalks and leave litter and human waste strewn about, but critics charge the ordinance criminalizes homelessness and will only end up making the problem worse.

They will at least have a bed to sleep on, food three times a day and showers a couple of times a week. What's to argue about?

Are you kidding #2?
biden will make sure all of the illegal aliens get to stay in nice hotels, with their meals and medical care paid for, plus some spending cash for good measure.
It's only American citizens, especially veterans, that wont' get any help at all and will end up in jail if they keep up crossing the line.

Good news. Arrest them and get them into mental wards or prison, as needed.

The problems with the "advocates" for the homeless, mentally ill, or any other group who roams the streets freely, is that they rarely actually have to live with or in the middle of the results of their advocacy. They are all for the homeless rights to live on the streets. They are all for the rights of the mentally ill to live unmedicated in the community. When things go awry and crime rises, tent cities pop up, trash and litter all over, streets blocked, and all of the other issues we are currently seeing the advocates wash their hands of those issues. When the issues are addressed to ensure the health and safety of everyone (general public, homeless, mentally ill), then the advocates start screaming again about rights. It's their right to live in squalor if they choose, it's their right to not take their medications if they choose, it's their right........ Forgetting the fact that there is not a right to freely destroy public property, steal, litter ,rob people, harass people, and all of the stuff the advocates forget they are inflicting on everyone else.
