Over 20 percent of homeless residents in Chicago are employed, with many holding a college degree

{Trump declared homelessness to be “disgraceful” and that he was “looking at it very seriously,” singling out Los Angeles and San Francisco. He went on to disparage victims of homelessness and blame them for their own fate, stating that “Some of them have mental problems and don’t even know that they’re living that way. They can’t do that. We cannot ruin our cities...We may intercede. We may do something to get the whole thing cleaned up.”}

While our metropolitan cities engage in gentrification causing these effects, Trump can get away with placing blame on those effected. Avoiding the whole effect of facts mentioning only the mentally ill aspect. And as in Chicago, the very democratic leaders in collaboration spearheaded the programs that pushed these people onto the streets or out of the city. A reoccurring issue around the nation. Take to mind also, many of these people are veterans that over the past 18 years fought in their Middle East wars to come home to this, after corporations made billions off their sacrifice. There's a whole another percentage of them to evaluate in this mess. The only part these politicians get right is that it's disgraceful. But their reality towards the disgraceful part is misdirected! Then that also comes with purpose if you see the problem as a whole as an agenda. And their solution for the problem.

{Trump’s fascistic threats to “intercede” to “clean up” cities’ homeless populations are a warning to the working class. If such plans are carried out, his administration could potentially throw thousands of homeless people into concentration camps like those used to detain migrant workers and their children who are seeking refuge from violence and poverty across the border.}

Imagine being one of these people who can't afford to live outside of the city who sleeps in their car to reduce their spending in travel and high rent. You're waken up one night due to the government receiving notice you're homeless, yet working, by this means can you now be sent off? This might bring a recollection of (then they came after me) to mind. I'm fairly certain as they round you up the first question isn't going to be, do you have a job. You're essentially going to be looked at as litter on their streets that the upper class don't want to see as you sleep close to your work place. So what's next? You move to sleeping in one of the many Chicago areas that have become breeding grounds for gangland nightly shootings. Putting yourself in the many aspects of danger that come with it. Robbed, beaten, shot, probably killed by someone with a ghost gun who will never be caught. Another issue unresolved in these metropolitan areas. I might say also on purpose.
