“President Trump said during his visit that he wants to ‘help’ the homeless in California by tearing down their tents and moving them into government housing,” said Homeless Advocate James Hardknox. “And it’s true that there are those of us who have been agitating for increased government assistance in finding homes for these people. But when Donald Trump offers to help, it should be enough to give any decent person pause. And after pausing, I realized that Janis Joplin sang it best: ‘Freedom’s just another word for nothing left to lose.’ Which means that when you’ve got nothing left to lose, you’re truly free. And freedom is what America is all about. How dare Trump try to deny these people their freedom by taking away their chosen lifestyle and forcing them to live in some square - and I do mean square - building? And now Imperial Beach is prohibiting people from sleeping on city property, including sidewalks. Sleeping, like skateboarding, is not a crime!”
