The ordeal in Orlando Florida got the attention of the Supreme Court. Florida has tried stuff like that in the past and it was squashed in the courts.
What many people outside of the US don't realize, is that in just about every city in the US there is somewhere to go eat for free.
They are called Missions around here, and are supported by Churches and generous donations.
You can get 5 meals a day for free around here (all within a few blocks), and most people that "have" never eat 5 meals a day,..
There are also food banks held all over the place, which is even more free food, clothes, etc.
Anyone in the US that says they don't have anything to eat, wear, etc, is probably just lazy, and that is the bottom line.
If you ask the homeless around here or anywhere else I have ever lived where to go to eat, etc, they all know... It is common knowledge.
The argument goes both ways on it. Do you want to be a humanitarian and help them, or feed and cloth them which also enables them.
Thankfully everywhere I have ever lived, took the humanitarian approach.
I have also never seen FEMA at all. When I lived in Virginia we had a massive ice storm, and I had over a foot of ice that you could see right thru to the grass. FEMA never showed up. A lot of people died, and no FEMA...No power for over a month at my house, others went even longer than that. The average temp that month was in the single digits.... Power companies from all over the east coast came to help, but no FEMA. The Red Cross was there, but no FEMA.
If FEMA doesn't show up for something like that, why would they show up to round up homeless people?
Look at the Katrina disaster. Fema was so under staffed that even when they got there, they could not do much.
How does FEMA make 200,000 people disappear when they don't have enough people to even get supplies to a disaster?
Simple answer is they don't, and they never did. FEMA had about 14,000 employees in 2003 all over the US, and that is no where hear enough people to pull of 200k disappearing without anyone catching on. Where in the world would you put 200k people, how would you transport them without anyone noticing?
I'm sorry, the stories about that are bull crap. With all the video cameras all over the place in the US, someone would have proof of it. And to date there is no proof of it at all.
The best part of it is, is that FEMA was dissolved in 2003 then again with the Katrina Act in 2006. It is now part of Homeland Security, and that is public knowledge to everyone accept the people blaming FEMA for something that never happened. So if there was something going on based on any fact at all, they would not be blaming an agency that deals with disaster recovery......
