To me it is an important event that will determine what direction or step is needed to take back America for the people. I plan to attend this struggle for about a week. To me it is an

That is nothing but a stereotype. No rational person, regardless of their feelings about rules, would choose deprivation, filth, and sickness over the comfort of employment, income, and housing. I am sure that the Mayor doesn't like some of the rules he lives by either but he endures a situation that he cannot change at this point. That's what someone without employment, income, or housing has to do each day, to endure an impossible situation as best they can. The devastating changes in the world of work, outsourcing overseas, illegal immigrants and the like are the root cause of the economic difficulties in America. Why isn't the Mayor ferreting out illegal immigrant workers in his community and get those jobs for legitimate Americans so that they might be able to rent their own rooms? Is it because they're his constituents? This hogwash in America has to stop. We need to care for our own citizens first. Employment, income, medical care, housing, are the solution, not this insane madness of criminalizing the poor. This is "brother against brother" in its purest form and was the basis for the Civil War. It is the basis for most of the problems America has today, the rich against the poor. We have become such a shallow society and have even begun to discard people as well as the nightly trash. Instead of pursuing rational, sensible, and sane solutions to this problem we have become combative and seek to destroy those whom we dislike. Instead of trying to circumvent the law Sir, perhaps you might consider pursuing realistic, logical solutions like returning these individuals to a productive life and contributing members of the community with dignity and self respect.
