2. Seems like divisive propaganda with focus on migrants

A lot of LA’s skid row population are NOT migrants. I can’t see hotel employers specifically looking for migrants among the homeless, particularly since there would likely be some language difficulties.

Suggesting that most of CA’s homeless are migrants is just buying into right wing racist stereotypes about the homeless.

The overwhelming majority of homeless people surveyed were locals, not migrants from far away.
