I've been to the border and flew my drone in between TFRs. It's incredible to see lines of people coming across or just lined up to be processed.My favorite thing about the “open borders” narrative is that it doesn’t hold up to any level of scrutiny
I assume you think the border is completely secure and that there aren’t 10s of thousands of people crossing illegally? And that there surely aren’t cartel gunmen crossing at night?My favorite thing about the “open borders” narrative is that it doesn’t hold up to any level of scrutiny
I live in Shawnee, and we have a problem here too. I can say that OKC brings vans of homeless from time to time to drop them off.We recently purchased an home in Norman that we will be renting out soon, so I've been in Norman quite a bit lately. When and how did the homeless population get out of control? Are there any plans for the city to get it fixed?
We're about to have 10s of thousands of people travel here who have never been here before. Its not a good look.
maybe another $2 trillion tax cut for the top 1% will solve the problem?
Really? The top 1% pay 50% of the taxes now. The government and throwing more money away does not solve problems. The government actually creates the problems and then tells the people that only they can solve the problem. Another recent study suggests that most of the homeless, choose to be homeless, but it was a pre covid study.maybe another $2 trillion tax cut for the top 1% will solve the problem?
This is not a political matter and don't inject one into it. Most homeless people are American citizens who are getting the short end of the stick from a society is getting more callous and incompassionate. Caring for your neighbor and those who are less fortunate is considered socialism by a society that is increasingly illiterate and dumb.COVID????? Get real, our southern border is wide open and thousands come in daily!!!!!! They have no place to go!!!!!!!!!
But it goes hand in hand with an increase in crime. It always has and always will.I don’t like it either, but being homeless isn’t a crime.

City council and Breea Clark the old mayor, they made Norman a sanctuary city and other cities would bus their homeless to Norman as Norman was “friendly” and offered more options. Then the residents of Norman flipped out & voted her and many of her friends off the city council (Alex Scott as an example).We recently purchased an home in Norman that we will be renting out soon, so I've been in Norman quite a bit lately.

Other states/cities are encouraging the homeless to bus over to Tulsa due to the resources here for them. Being in the Bible Belt plays into the hands of providing more resources for them here than elsewhere.I live in broken arrow and we’ve noticed a lot more homeless coming from Tulsa. It’s getting bad

Thank you for serving 🙏Other states/cities are encouraging the homeless to bus over to Tulsa due to the resources here for them. Being in the Bible Belt plays into the hands of providing more resources for them here than elsewhere.
It’s a sad deal though. I serve at our local homeless shelter and the executive director mentioned that over 97% of the local homeless population has a substance abuse issue.
It’s an unpopular opinion, but I think the solution that would bear the most fruit is a forced rehab program.
I have heard that OKC busses them to Norman as well. Telling them that Norman will care for them.I live in Shawnee, and we have a problem here too. I can say that OKC brings vans of homeless from time to time to drop them off.
I work closely with a lot of the landlords in Shawnee, and I know they are trying to drive them out. It’s sad, but it’s just bad for the community. I didn’t know Norman had a problem though.
That didn’t happen the way you’re saying it did. It’s A LOT more complicated than that, and that’s why Biden never changed it back like he said would.maybe another $2 trillion tax cut for the top 1% will solve the problem?
Yea it does. 3 million people have now came in to our country since the start of 2021, faking that they need “asylum”. Anyone from any country can get in whenever they want, that’s the literal and actual definition of open borders.My favorite thing about the “open borders” narrative is that it doesn’t hold up to any level of scrutiny
These people CHOOSE to live on the street and do drugs. Some are mentally unstable, but these people are also mostly using. Enabling this lifestyle is not caring for them, it is in fact hurting them and also those who can't afford to live away from the problem areas.This is not a political matter and don't inject one into it.

I think we are all conflating the term “homeless”, or “unhoused” with what the people that are the problem actually are: junkies and/or lazy people that don’t want to work and instead want to panhandle and steal from citizens.This is not a political matter and don't inject one into it.

That may be part of it, but the issue is not apparent on or around campus compared to just a few hundred yards around Main Street. There is actually quite a bit to like about what's going on downtown, its really popped off the last few years, with this glaring exception.college towns are filled with sympathetic big hearted kids who want to believe - same reason a political party goes there trolling for votes
He doesn’t have a solutionAnd obviously so does the rest of the country, but I’m glad we have someone on here who does understand it. I for one would love to hear what you have.
A OkC cop told me they’ve dropped some off in Norman before. California and other states put there’s on busses with one way tickets and just tell them to get off wherever they want. Unfortunately no one in our country can get along anymore, and we can’t solve problems that are affecting human lives. It’s a crappy situation that leaders need to actually work together and come up with some solutions, rather than just passing it off to someone else.I have heard that OKC busses them to Norman as well. Telling them that Norman will care for them.
True, but shitting on business doorsteps is (or should be), accosting kids and moms at store entrances with demands for money and stuff you just bought is (or should be), shooting up and tossing your needles on the street is (or should be), breaking into people's yards and stealing anything in sight (IS a crime), but the police are not allowed to do anything about it because of Norman's stupid City Council, which has voted to give them free housing, free groceries, free medical care, and free "mental assistance" that assists nothing. Norman has become a hotbed for druggies (thanks in part to the MJ shops on damn near every corner), bums, hobos, lazy shitheads who expect a handout (or twenty) because they exist, and perfectly healthy young men and women who could work but refuse to..I don’t like it either, but being homeless isn’t a crime.
Several years ago stopped out in El Centro, Ca to eat. A young homeless man acting nutty on a bicycle rode up and asked for a donation. He looked hungry, so gave him a 10. An hour later, I was at a Wells Fargo Bank ATM when this fellow rode up and asked if he could use the machine ahead of me. I said go ahead, and he pulled up his account and deposited numerous bills. When he left he dropped his deposit slip, I picked it up to give it to him, but he rode off. When I got in the car, my wife looked at the deposit slip, and then it hit me. His savings account had 285,000 dollars.In my experience, most homeless are not Mexican or Central/South American. In reality, I see them doing all the shit jobs the homeless (without mental illness) refuse to do. But it doesn't matter for those lazy ones, because they can just stand by the road with a sad sign and make several hundred dollars in less than 8 hrs. I offer food/water if I have it. If they refuse, it's pretty obvious what they are doing. If they are truly desperate/in need, they will take anything.
I call bullshit. The homeless don't even want to live in Broken Arrow.I live in broken arrow and we’ve noticed a lot more homeless coming from Tulsa. It’s getting bad
If you think it’s as simple as getting a job you should watch the show “maid” on NetflixI used to empathize with them. Then they broke into my girls car and broke a bunch of her stuff, including a box with her first dogs ashes in it that we had just gotten from the vet. So now it’s **** them. ****ing bum crackheads. I feel like an old man but I genuinely don’t care about them anymore and think they should get a job like the rest of us.
Since you have the answer, why don't you take in some homeless people and invite them to stay with you? You know- show some "compassion" and "care for your neighbor"....put your money where your mouth is.This is not a political matter and don't inject one into it.

Not if shit britches has a say.This has nothing to do with the top 1%. You think if the govt collected more taxes from the top 1%, they would distribute that money responsibly to help the homeless?
Rollin, Rollin Rollin, keep them buses Rollin!I've been to the border and flew my drone in between TFRs. It's incredible to see lines of people coming across or just lined up to be processed.
I've also went to the San Antonio Airport and so them on the tarmac loading up. Also the bus terminal here that is swamped with charter busses to other cities in America.
It is an invasion period.
I pay taxes. I don't mind paying a little more to help someone down on their luck. That's what my christian belief is about and I hope people embrace that.Since you have the answer, why don't you take in some homeless people and invite them to stay with you?

Joe needs more diapers. All he's thinking about. Jill ain't gonna git messy. Put yer name in the hat. Good luck. 👍I pay taxes. I don't mind paying a little more to help someone down on their luck. That's what my christian belief is about and I hope people embrace that.
Your cynicism about this homeless issue is quite misplaced. Just because someone is down on their luck doesn't make the person is a junkie or a thief. Your comment exemplifies the ultimate callousness and indifference to those who are unfortunate in our society.I think we are all conflating the term “homeless”, or “unhoused” with what the people that are the problem actually are: junkies and/or lazy people that don’t want to work and instead want to panhandle and steal from citizens.
Not every aspect of human frailty is a choice. Not everyone is capable of being a king kong.These people CHOOSE to live on the street and do drugs. Some are mentally unstable, but these people are also mostly using. Enabling this lifestyle is not caring for them, it is in fact hurting them and also those who can't afford to live away from the problem areas.
These people have to be forced to get off of the drugs before they can accept help and compassion.
We don't need new laws. I don't think it is legal to do drugs, throw needles, and poop on the streets of Norman.
What would sleepy joe say? After he wakes up of course. 👍Not every aspect of human frailty is a choice. Not everyone is capable of being a king kong.
Who cares? Arkansas and Mizzou have 50 plus thousand of them in their stands every home gameWe recently purchased an home in Norman that we will be renting out soon, so I've been in Norman quite a bit lately. When and how did the homeless population get out of control? Are there any plans for the city to get it fixed?

This is actually spot on.COVID????? Get real, our southern border is wide open and thousands come in daily!!!!!! They have no place to go!!!!!!!!!
