Many of our major cities are having crisis level issues with homelessness, not just in CA but nation wide. There's not enough infrastructure or money to repair the infrastructure (roads suck, we don't have enough water storage to last through the dry years any more)

The problem isn't lack of resources but where they are located. For the first time in history urban housing needs have overtaken non-urban housing needs (which may or may not be related to the fact that our economy has changed in the recent decades due to the decline in US manufacturing). In non-major metro areas there's a LOT of vacant homes and apartments.

i do agree that transportation infrastructure is in dire need of an overhaul. It's not that there isn't the money to fix it or people willing to take the jobs, but those in positions of power would rather spend it on other things, like the military and 17 benghazi investigations.

The point I was trying to make is that the current situation isn't exactly a utopia in the densely populated areas of our country so johnbryanpeters' idea of "just let everyone in the world move to wherever they want" probably would not go well.

Holy shit. I don´t see how can that be legal/constitutional...

A U.S. Senator from Oregon was turned away from a detention center for migrant children, including those separated from their parents at the U.S. border under a new immigration policy.

In a Facebook Live video on Sunday, Sen. Jeff Merkley walks up to a former Walmart in Brownsville, Texas, that has become a center to hold children detained at the border. In the video, he explains that his staff had sought permission to enter the facility, but that permission was declined by Homeland Security.

At the entrance to the facility, where the windows and doors are blacked out, he runs into a woman entering the facility who asks him to leave. He then requests to speak to a supervisor and waits outside for roughly 10 minutes. At that point, the police arrive, and soon after, the supervisor steps out of the facility, only to tell Merkley that he doesn’t have permission to talk about the center. Eventually, Merkley is asked to leave.
