This doesn't excuse it, but the reason a lot of homeless are homeless is because they're mentally ill and unable to care for themselves like adults. Refugees aren't crazy, in fact their sanity is supported by the fact that they're fleeing conflict. Refugees just need a place to start and they'll be able to take care of themselves. The homeless need full time care.

While we should be taking care of them because we as a country can absolutely afford it, refugees are a temporary problem because they can care for themselves eventually.

There's no fucking excuse for not taking care of veterans, though.
