They would each take about a dozen homeless into their own homes, take full legal and financial responsibility for them, and get them cleaned up and back into being a productive, tax-paying citizen.
Never going to happen. These soft-headed busybody do-gooders are more interested in moral preening with their friends.
Agree-that should be mandatory for everyone of these virtue signalers whether 'advocating' for the homeless or illegal aliens.
