This is a level of blood libeling of immigrants (and their citizen children, being lumped in as 'illegals') comparable to the demonization of Tutsis in the time immediately preceding the Rwandan Genocide, or the libels against Jews in the buildup to the Holocaust.

NEW: After paying for hotel rooms to shelter homeless people, Seattle deliberately left them vacant.
By the end of 2024, taxpayers were spending $4,200 a month per empty room at a time when thousands of residents were without a roof over their heads.

Seattle Spent Millions on Hotel Rooms to Shelter Unhoused People. Then It Stopped Filling Them.
Early last year, the city signed a $2.7 million lease extension to continue using a hotel’s rooms as shelter space. Yet despite committing to pay the rent, the city stopped sending people there.
