My name is Amir Cornish from West Oakland. I'm 20 years old and a youth poverty skola reporting on the Executive Order that was made by President Donald Trump across the United States.
An Executive Order is a directive issued by the President of the United States that manages operations within the federal government, but this one basically gets rid of all homeless across the United States.
This Executive Order aims to increase accountability and safety in American homelessness programs by ending support for “housing first” policies, in reducing homelessness and increasing public safety.
This Executive Order seeks to “[shift] homeless individuals into long term institutional settings for humane treatment through the appropriate use of civil commitment” to ensure safety and public order in America.
The Trump administration says that by removing vagrant criminals from our streets and redirecting them towards the substance abuse program, they will ensure that Americans will feel safe in their own communities, and that the individuals suffering from addiction or mental health struggles are able to get help from these resources.
This is not going to solve the problems with the homeless in the United States or all around the Earth. But our President, Donald Trump, made this law to get rid of homelessness to make Washington look better and also to make crime go down.
This Executive Order is nonsense because basically President Donald Trump thinks by making this law he will get rid of homelessness in D.C. Also, our President said that he has all these benefits for the homeless, but I highly doubt it is gonna be any help for homelessness.
