You want them out of sight? Where are your policies to help the dehomed find homes? What are you doing to help?

The right wants to just arrest the dehomed and lock them up. They don't want to solve the problem of why they have no home. When Reagan killed of the mental institutions and started the war on the middle class, it just made things worse. I've seen statsitics showing there are more vacant homes than there are dehomed in this country. There's an easy answer to getting the dehomed off of the streets. And then help them out with what they need, whether it's job training, eductaion, substance abuse, mental health care, or protection from domestic abusers. The state and federal government have the power and the money to help. They just lack the moral will to do the right thing.
