Suggestions on what to do with growing homeless/panhandler problem?

I've lived in Baton Rouge and NYC, there's too many homeless bums lying on the street begging for money. The amount of times I go on the subway and there's a person going car to car, asking for money with their "pity" life story or seeing some panhandler on the I-10 off ramps in BR... it's annoying.
Here's my idea, round up all the homeless in our major cities (NYC, LA, Chicago, Houston, NOLA, etc) for vagrancy and being a nuisance (when they walk in between moving cars with a cup for coins, when they start washing your car windows when they didn't ask, etc). We get their info and post it on a website. Their family is notified and have a week to come claim them. If not, they are bused out to states like Wyoming, the Dakotas, or any other state with low populations (under 1 million) for the opportunity to start their new life or be hired on as a laborer and sent to down to the Mexican border to perform construction work on the Trump Wall.

Hasn't happened to me, but I've seen homeless try to get a moving car to hit them so they can get a lawsuit and bankrupt a hard working class member of society for free cash.

I'm sure apartment rent there is cheap since no one wants to live there. They could go 10 ways on a single bedroom for dirt cheap and get bunk beds.

Beat em.
Bonus points if you beat up anyone trying to give them money.

Guiliani cleaned up a lot of that shite in the subways but it's seen an uptick under de Blasio.
In the decade-ish I've been in Baton Rouge I've seen the amount of repeat panhandlers shoot up quite a bit. These are people that aren't just down on their luck but are panhandling for a living. It's why I never give beggars money. Ever.
All the city-parish has to do is make panhandling within 10 feet of a street or highway a low-level crime that incurs jail time and a fine. The professionals will magically find something else to do and somewhere else to do it.

Homeless redistribution. Break them up and use them to populate the underpopulated areas. They obviously can't find jobs where they are at (supposedly). Hire some to work on the Trump Wall, send some to Puerto Rico and the other outlying territories to be hired as laborers, etc.

Due to shale oil and fracking, ND has had a housing shortage for years, and some places have the highest rent in the U.S.
"According to a recent survey from Apartment Guide, the region around the town of Williston, North Dakota has the highest average rent in the U.S., beating out other traditionally expensive areas such as the Washington D.C. and New York City metropolitan regions. A renter in Williston can expect to pay an average of $2,394 a month for a 700-square-foot, one-bedroom apartment?—?space that would cost $1,504 in New York and $1,411 in the Los Angeles area."

"The booming economy has led to some less exciting effects, though – rising housing costs and a lack of housing availability. With local populations doubling in just a couple years, the housing markets have been unable to keep up with the demand for housing. In some areas, $3,400 a month for a three-bedroom apartment is typical..

Just pull a Kramer on them and tell them "sorry, all I got is $100s"
and drive off when light turns green.
