The left would like everyone to believe that the homeless
are simply a bunch of down-on-their luck people, many of
whom are entire families with children, and who are in that
position through no fault of their own. Then the US can be
bludgeoned for "ignoring the plight of the homeless" as if
it was Scrooge depriving Tiny Tim of his turkey.

Nope. I'm not a researcher in this area, and since the issue
is so heavily politicized, I'm sure it's difficult to find
unbiased sources. I found one link,
<http://www.la.utexas.edu/research/cccjr/research/bwribsum3.htm>
which has some statistics about public-order offenses in Austin,
Texas. One quearter of those arrested and two-thirds of repeat
offenders are homeless.

Certainly. That's why I'm a supporter of NAFTA, and in favor of
maquiladoras and wider legal immigration. I'm also very much
against US farm and sugar subsidies, which prevent other countries
from being able to profit from their labors. And it would be nice
if the IMF and other international lenders would do something to
rein in the ruinous borrow-and-spend social policies which drive
countries like Argentina into bankruptcy.
