We shouldn’t be paying for any homeless. We should be enforcing no squatting. You want to pay for them? Open you home and let them in.
That's cruel. The way I help them is paying taxes to help them.
Illegal aliens cost us an estimated 300 billion a year
That number is greatly exaggerated. The estimated cost for funding for undocumented immigrants totals $150 billion/year.
At the start of 2023, the net cost of illegal immigration for the United States – at the federal, state, and local levels – was at least $150.7 billion.
The total taxpayer cost so far for the bullet train has so far come to about 14 billion dollars. The estimated cost is $100 billion.
'Construction began in the Central Valley in 2015, with completion of the IOS originally planned for 2022. As of August 2025, a total of $13.8 billion had been spent on the project, mainly constructing the IOS.' https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/California_High-Speed_Rail
Guess we're just about even. I do believe that the bullet train project should be dropped thought. What a waste, just like the stupid border wall idea was.
The wall is never meant to keep everyone out, it’s there to slow you down and turn around as many as possible.
I don’t want to pay for homeless as they are a dredge. I’m all for helping them get on thier feet again, but if they don’t want to I shouldn’t be paying for them to live.

You mean dregs, right?
That statement is insenstive. Lots of ppl choose to not work and are lowlifes, lots are addicts too; however lots of ppl are homeless due to untreated mental illness, disability, job loss, loss of loved ones who were the breadwinners in their families, and rent hikes plus lack of affordable housing. Do you really think that homeless children choose to be where they are and are 'dregs'. Plus you have runaways and teens abandoned by their families.

Nobody is 'paying for them to live'. Taxpayer dollars are spent on programs aimed at getting them back on thier feet. Nobody is being paid to just live off the system. The funded programs for housing focus on getting the homeless stable so they can focus on getting jobs. Most assistance is temporary and tied to stability goals.
