Misinformed and Mistreated 2

After watching the film Taylor’s campaign” in class, I  was able to see the lengths in which officials and cities  would go to rid of the homeless instead of addressing the problem.  So many times in the film law enforcement and city peers would misinform and mislead the homeless.  Telling them things like they can’t be in certain area’s, and giving them tickets and such for things like shopping carts & dumpster diving.  Sending them to jail to spend the night and constantly harassing them on things like open containers when they are just recycling.  The city is just as bad, they get rid of grass and all kinds of things to push the homeless out.  I would have hated to be homeless in that time, although it is still bad, treatment is a lot better because of cameras and cellular devices always recording everyones actions.  However, cities do still try and push the homeless out and with not enough space to house them, they end up getting no help and struggling to survive.  Yet we want to spend billions to build a wall that in the long run and short run do little good.  With that money we can help the homeless, mentally & physically ill, and war veterans get jobs.  Along with getting them help that would have short term and long term benefits, such as cleaning up the streets and allowing those on the streets to make lives for themselves.  As well as fixing the public educational system so that the future group can be prosperous, fixing the health care system, and fixing the roads so that there can be fewer accidents. America in general has to improve in so many ways but they limit their options and much rather build a wall then address the problems here.

  1. It makes me so angry all this time instead of trying to solve the problem, it is common to try to ignore it and move it some where so it is no longer their problem, BUT NOTHING WILL BE FIXED THIS WAY. We keep the homeless in this vicious cycle that is hard to get out of
