It’s easy to criticize something but I haven’t seen any alternatives being offered by Republicans.

1. Secure the border to stop illegal drugs from coming in easily. The homeless drug population is exploding and the drugs are coming from Honduras and other places like Mexico because Biden has made it easy to enter the country illegally. This is number one on GOP list, secure the border.
2. Enforce the law, don't ignore it.
3. Put laws in place to not allow the homeless to set up camp. Republican are in Huntington Beach California does not allow the homeless to set up camps by beaches or by businesses. They do not have a homeless problem.

The biggest issue causing homelessness is substance abuse, more drugs than alcohol. In SF, cops watch as people purchase and use drugs on the streets. The easier you make it for anyone to use drugs illegally, the bigger the problem will become.
