Many of the homeless in sanctuary cities are drug addicted and/or mentally ill. They are hurting innocent people and need to be off the streets. Homeless and drug-addicted felons live on the streets in these cities with drug dealers supplying them with the poison right in the “open air.” That isn’t liberalism; it’s far-left ideology.
We finally have a president addressing it. President Trump signed an executive order to bring back mental institutions.
So often, the judge’s excuse for not keeping criminals in prison is that they are mentally ill. That excuse has to be taken away.

“You’ve got to get rid of your sanctuary cities, and I hope our people know that we’re not going to pay sanctuary cities. We’re not going to pay them anymore.
“They are sanctuaries for criminals. They hold criminals. We’re not going to pay. They can sue us and maybe they’ll win, but we’re not giving money to sanctuary cities anymore as of the beginning of the month.
“We began the process of eliminating cashless bail. Well, cashless bail is where it all started. It’s a disaster. And then other places—I don’t know if it started in New York. I remember it starting in New York. Somebody comes in, murders somebody, and they let them out. No bail, no nothing. Basically, cashless bail means you just get the hell out. And they go outside.

“I signed an executive order to bring back mental institutions and insane asylums. We’re going to have to bring them back. Hate to build those suckers, but you’ve got to get the people off the streets.”
I hope this works but there’s a problem. In 1975 the Supreme Court ruled people could not be held involuntarily in a mental institution just because they were diagnosed as mentally ill. There have always been hobos and bums but after that ruling mass homelessness began in the US.
It’ll backfire as soon as the Democrats get back in power.
Their goal is to lock up normal people.
I would trust a homeless person before any democrat.
There goes the Dems’ base!
The DAY, the treasonous (but not wrong) SCOTUS, decided you cannot lock nuts up, who not committed a crime, The US congress should have made it a crime to run lose on the street while being nuts. Easy fix that was NEVER enacted because it was a PLAN, by the Brotherhood of the Cloth (EVERY lawyer, judge and lawgiver,,, local,… Read more »
Dems started by saying it was wrong to “warehouse” people with mental problems. So Dems set up “halfway houses” to mainstream those who could be trained to do menial jobs. Then the Dems stopped funding for the half-way houses. The Dems RELEASED all the mentally ill instead of putting them back in the “warehouses.” The result? Crazy people everywhere who… Read more »

–FACTS
(CLICK ON GRAPHIC FOR FULL SIZE)
He should look to Independence, Iowa. they have a truly humongous mental health institute that is all but vacant.
It will take a lot of insane asylums to house every Democrat politician…and all of their voters too!
That’s a federal construction project I can support!
