There are now tent cities which are being built outside most large metropolitan areas, one of the largest of which is in Los Angeles. A report from the BBC highlights the consequence of the U.S. sub-prime meltdown and the fears that the crisis is growing. YouTube LINK
The homelessness situation has grown so rapidly in the United States, that certain cities are issuing colour-coded wristbands – blue for those who can stay, "orange for people who need to provide more documentation, and white for those who must leave."
This is the kind of "human-branding" that was also indeed a precursor to the rise of Adolf Hilter's Nazi Germany. There is a wise saying that, those who are not prepared to "learn the lessons of history", are doomed to repeat it.
The Los Angeles Times has documented an example of this kind of fascistic human branding of American citizens, in Orange County. LINK
Notwithstanding, the constitutional guarantee of freedom of association and freedom of movement, American 'refugees' will no longer be able to stay in one area, meaning that many towns and cities will now have to be prepared to receive migrant refugees displaced by local governments from other districts and States.
Reports suggest that Canadians will also need to be prepared for this influx. A refugee claimant in Canada currently has a period of many, many months in which the applicant is eligible for financial and other support. A failed claimant then also has the right to seek leave to appeal his or her rejection to Federal Court." If the American refugee crisis continues to grow as analysts predict, then the cost to Canadians will be astronomical.
