In my area (Seattle), almost none of the visible homeless are illegal immigrants. Granted, these are mostly drug addicts (otherwise you wouldn’t notice them!), but I get the feeling that they have living arrangements somehow given that they are here to make money and not do drugs (it has to pay off for them, and I can’t see that happening if they live in the streets). It might not be very great housing though (think 4 men sharing a room).
The “illegal immigrants” are homeless thing feels like a meme to me, but I live far from the southern border so maybe it’s worse down there?
