"Give me your tired, your poor, Your huddled masses yearning to breathe free, The wretched refuse of your teeming shore. Send these, the homeless, tempest-tost to me, I lift my lamp beside the golden door!"
More than likely these guys are not immigrants, and yes the homelessness issue is problematic and one that needs more resources to solve. But asking City residents to put up with homeless guys camping out in our parks and hassling us, engaging in crime is also not fair. These guys are breaking the law and I'm glad that PBSO is FINALLY doing something about it.
Great concept...back in the good ole days when we didn't have people wanting to grab our chips...where they actually wanted to work for a living rather than robbing and killing you for what you worked hard to achieve. Thank God for the 2nd Amendment.
Oh, thanks for the personal attack. There are always going to be criminals no matter the time, no matter the era. Immigrants fled Europe for a promise of a better future and knew, through hard work and self-determination, they would attain the American dream. They did not come here for hand-outs or free cell phones. :)

ReplyDeleteYour huddled masses yearning to breathe free,
The wretched refuse of your teeming shore.
Send these, the homeless, tempest-tost to me,

Ah.... never mind!
Great poem--great concept. Back in the good odl days when immigrants actually came to America to contribute something and assimilate into society.

ReplyDeleteJust like the 2nd Amendment--great concept.
ReplyDeleteBack in the good old days when a gun was used to shoot food, and could only fire one shot at a time.

I agree with you Lynn. He should be zapped with a taser and taken to the county line. We need to show all the homeless that it is "Time to Move On".
ReplyDeleteHoly crap--did I say that????????
