The $300 average includes food and other services not normally included in a typical hotel rate. Also, the city can opt out of any of its individual contracts at any time if the migrant population in need of shelter reduces.

This is not the same as housing the homeless, who often will need some form of housing and care from the city/state for their entire lives due to mental illness and/or disability. This is an investment in a future American workforce. Most of these people came here to work.

All true, but importing cheap labor is not a good thing for workers.

Also, I still think 300 is quite high, even if food is included.

I mean, fast food companies and restaurants are hiring children so I think more people in the workforce is a good thing.

Also, most Americans don’t want to pick vegetables in the field or clean bathroom stalls. These people are willing to do the dirty jobs that are necessary for our current way of life.

They hire children because they’re cheap and abusable. They need to pay more.

That’s the problem. There are many Americans who can pick vegetables but lack the work ethic to pick vegetables. We shouldn’t import people because other people are lazy.
