According to a report from The Wall Street Journal, homelessness is near record highs in the U.S. due to the crisis at the southern border; illegal migrants fill the streets of every major American city.

At least 550,000 people were reported homeless in January — the same month the US notched the highest number ever of border crossings.

From The Wall Street Journal:

The numbers come from more than 250 homeless-service organizations covering cities, metro areas and vast rural areas. They are meant to reflect homelessness as it existed on a single night early this year. The Journal’s count includes about 550,000 homeless people so far, up about 10% from what these places reported last year.

The trend thus far means the U.S. is likely to top the roughly 653,000 homeless people estimated in 2023—the highest number since the government started reporting comparable data in 2007.

The final count will depend on outstanding data from places that haven’t yet divulged their 2024 numbers, especially New York City, which reported the highest count last year.

Migrants bused by Texas to Chicago and Denver contributed to the latest increases when they landed in shelters there. Migrants have arrived in significant numbers in New York, which has long had a legal right to shelter, swelling numbers in last year’s count.

“It’s deeply unfortunate, but it’s not surprising,” said Diane Yentel, chief executive at the nonprofit National Low Income Housing Coalition, on the latest homeless increase.

Many conservatives on X attributed the crisis directly to the Biden-Harris administration.

“Kamala also helped America set a new record for homelessness,” Tim Young posted.” 4 more years and our country will be completely destroyed.”

Fox News host Laura Ingraham simply said “The Harris Legacy.”
