It could happen here

Reading the Jan. 29 feature by Franziska Wild about what the Trump administration’s impact could be on those experiencing homelessness, those he thinks are eyesores, reminded me of reports and stories about how Hitler tried to make Germany great again.

Hitler started with just one or two groups, sorta like the U.S. passing and enforcing unconstitutional laws such as no sleeping in public, no sleeping in your vehicle, or no camping on public lands in the wake of the Supreme Court’s 2024 decision in Johnson v. Grants Pass.

Every one of those laws violates the Constitution, the Ninth Amendment, and the rights retained by the people. The right to sleep. The right to camp. Each being violated with political restrictions not authorized by the Constitution. These and many other unconstitutional laws criminalize innocent people in order to meet privatized jail and prison quotas.

The Trump plan resembles the Hitler concentration camps. Do you recall what happened when his plan got too successful? Think gas chambers.

In modern times, think computer chips. Chips that can act like OFF switches for the human machine. Load your list of “political undesirables” into a computer, then press the execute button.

People say, “Things like that could never happen in these united States of America.” I’ll bet that is what the people of Germany thought — until it started happening among them.

Homeless people are people who possess the exact same list of rights as any president or billionaire (Donald Trump or Elon Musk). Hiding “the problem” only makes it worse. Shipping “the problem” to other political jurisdictions only PASSES the buck and makes other places all the worse, as well as proving the incompetence of the politicians shipping their problems to others.

In previous articles, I outlined several solutions that neither pass the buck nor hide the homeless and do not violate their rights by FORCING THEM to live where they do not want to go. To not violate the Constitution, Trump needs someone who can identify the present redundant waste as well as the proposed and present benefits when it comes to helping homeless people.

Readers; you can advance your cause to help the homeless in much greater scale by presenting me to Trump to fill the head of his Department of Homeless Solutions. Thank you.
