Except Bloomberg was elected as a Republican
Works for me. It's better than putting them on the dole.
Couldn't they counsel, house, feed, and send them to college instead? Seems more humane
OK send them home so their own city / town has to deal with them - no so bright IMO! You just moved the problem. If they are illegal yes but if US citizen then the city needs a work program to help get these folks back working and useful again.
With out going into great detail I can see how the city could use these folks and save the city money. There are many tasks the city needs tended to that require little skill, instead of paying some guy $20.00 hr to do it put these people to work for $10.00 supervised by one $20.00 hr employee.
Just my 2 cents!
It's actually a good idea if you think about it. How many friends/family do you have in your hometown, even if you don't live there anymore? Let those folks give 'em a hand up to get them on their feet, and hopefully shame them into actually trying.
As far as a work program, the only way it would work is if you forced them to work. There's a reason they're bums: they don't want to work. They don't give a shit about a paycheck, all they care about is feeding whatever particular addiction they have. If work programs had a chance of working, they wouldn't be needed because the people they'd be designed for would be busy working.
Interesting. I guess I don't know how I feel about this.
I really don't know what you do to make bums to no longer be bums.
I really don't think this program is meant help anyone, just to make them someone else's problem.
