Billions of dollars is spent on homeless and somehow they leave children to be stranded on the streets of Skid Row.

That woman and her son are not migrants, but no American should have to live on the street. Where has all of the Federal money gone that was entrusted to California? They bend over backwards to give everything free to people here illegally. It's a damn shame.

This kid is in the street due to Obama-era policies. Hope he remembers that when he gets old enough to vote.

It's 100% a decision

Democrats and Republicans are too busy stealing our tax dollars to give to Ukraine and Israel

so we can't afford to help Americans

Maybe I'll get banned for saying that

I always thought “skid row” was an economic condition that could be anywhere. I just learned that Skid Row is an actual place.

Not always the case. That mother and child jumped at the chance when given the means to do so. What they will do when the money runs out is not known. I do believe in helping people (Americans) in need to get back on their feet, but it should not be a lifelong endeavor.

No one wants to solve the problem because the money would stop.

That’s a little melodramatic. No one is getting banned for that.
