45 billion can eliminate homelessness in US. This is blatant corruption.
NAEH estimes there were 970,806 people who experience homeless at least one night in 2023. That would require an average home building cost of $46,000 per homeless person if we assume all are permanently homeless. Building costs vary but the national average is about $317,000. I don’t think this amount could “end homelessness” but it could make a dent.
The assumption of 317,000 usd per home does not hold. Thats a very suburbian thought of ending homelessness. Its possible to build multi storey buildings housing more than 100-200 at roughly 20-36 million usd assuming units to be like a hotel room. For a million people, the number would be ~70 billion. If we move away from the hotel rooms to a bunk bed(like traditional homeless shelters usually are), the number would come down drastically to something like 21 billion. Its possible to end homelessness with the budget for jailing people. Its a choice,
Because its not just going to be immigrants. Its going to be any us citizen they don’t like.
Exactly, where do you think he’s getting the money to build out these ‘detention centers’ (read: “concentration camps”)? From gutting all other government services and agencies that don’t support his agenda to enrich his buddies and silence his dissenters.
These camps WILL be put to use once he moves to the next step, targeting fully legalized and naturally born American Citizens for ‘disloyalty’. It is coming, it is clearly evident. Unless Congress or the SCOTUS pulls hard on their reigns, we re rushing headlong into this.

And now they know they can do it without consequences.
You mean internment camps?
So what’s so wrong about immigrants that warrants spending another 45 billion of the American families’ food money to detain them? What problem is trying to be solved that makes 45 billion dollars a worthy investment for the future of America?
Phew! I’m GLAD they Cut my SOCIAL SECURITY to be Able to Afford this!
