Sanctuary Cities Welcome Illegals with 'Open Arms' While 38k Vets are Homeless
American veterans remain homeless as foreign migrants are welcomed

As the debate over housing migrants in sanctuary cities rages on, tens of thousands of American veterans are homeless, who need help and attention.
Sanctuary cities continue to welcome more illegal immigrants with “open arms” while failing to take care of US war heroes in need, who are left struggling and living on the streets.
There are over 550,000 homeless people across America, with 38,000 of those military veterans who have fallen on hard times after serving their country.
Meanwhile, every year we admit more than 1.5 million illegal aliens – the overwhelming majority of which are low-skilled workers competing for jobs against America’s poor, working & middle class.
Los Angeles’ homeless population is second only to New York City.
According to the Department of Housing and Urban Development, the California streets are the home to the highest number of homeless veterans.

According to Breitbart, sanctuary cities across the United States are responding to President Donald Trump’s threat to bus border crossers and illegal aliens to their jurisdictions, saying they plan to welcome all illegal immigration with “open arms” despite soaring homelessness problems.
Last week, Trump threatened to bus border crossers and illegal aliens into sanctuary cities and states, like California and New York City, if the country’s asylum laws were not changed.
White House Press Secretary Sarah Huckabee Sanders on Sunday confirmed that the White House is considering the plan.
“The USA has the absolute legal right to have apprehended illegal immigrants transferred to Sanctuary Cities,” Trump posted on Twitter over the weekend.
“We hereby demand that they be taken care of at the highest level, especially by the State of California, which is well known or it’s poor management & high taxes!”
Just out: The USA has the absolute legal right to have apprehended illegal immigrants transferred to Sanctuary Cities. We hereby demand that they be taken care of at the highest level, especially by the State of California, which is well known or its poor management & high taxes!

Sanctuary city mayors like Oakland, California, Mayor Libby Schaaf have responded to Trump’s threat by saying they plan to welcome any and all illegal aliens to their cities — even those cities that are struggling with rising homelessness.
Currently, there are nearly 38,000 homeless American veterans across the country.
“Oakland welcomes all, no matter where you came from or how you got here,” Schaaf wrote on Twitter.

As of 2017, there were more than 2,700 Oakland residents who were homeless — an increase of 25 percent when compared to two years before.
In all of Alameda County, there are about 5,630 homeless residents.
In all of California, there are nearly 130,000 homeless residents, including nearly 11,000 homeless American Veterans.
Sanctuary city New York City’s Mayor Bill de Blasio originally blasted Trump for the plan, claiming the president was using illegal aliens as “chess pieces,” but he then advocated for giving illegal aliens driver’s licenses in order to attract more illegal aliens to the state.
“Undocumented immigrants are our neighbors and part of the backbone of our economy,” de Blasio wrote online.
“It’s mind-boggling that they aren’t allowed to have driver’s licenses in New York State.”
