The idea of the red states bussing homeless to blue states is a half-truth. It's not a one-way pipeline as blue states do it as well. It's also voluntary, red states can't force people onto a bus to go to another city

I am aware that blue states do it as well, thats why I said it was mostly red states since the majority of the programs I have read about are from southern red states. I was unaware it was voluntary, but I don't really think that makes much of a difference when the issue is still people being dropped off with no money, connections etc.

Did you have an answer to my question? Or were you just pointing out that red states can't force people to get on a bus?
