Do you believe in selling the homeless people into slavery?

No.  If they were slaves you would have to provide health care, food, and housing.  If you just hire them for minimum wage you can get the labor much cheaper.

Not all but most homeless people are mentally ill and/or drug addicts.  We need to stop the flow of drugs coming into the US over the Southern border and get programs for people to begin anew.

Except that they wouldn't be homeless if they had any job skills and could hold down a job.  That makes it a lose-lose.

I think they can be put to work.

Of course not. They need assistance and programs that isn't based on being cruel.

Many are on the streets to begin with because they have untreated mental illness and they aren't even capable of keeping a roof over their head let alone employment. A mentally ill person is not going to be motivated the way you think you would be in that situation.

In China not working is a crime. If you don't work the Government puts you to work one way or another.

In the 1970's the concept of workfare was suggested as a replacement for welfare. It never happened.

Slavery is WRONG! If you have no skills then learn some.

I do not believe in that. Slavery is wrong.

Homeless people are the one who aren't slaves these days.  Comfortable slavery is still slavery.

Don’t forget they also have a roof to live under. It might be a barn but it’s better than the streets, right. 

Sounds Ghey ............
