This is utterly shameful! Billions of dollars are sent to crappy countries, while Americans live on the streets. The politically correct whine about how badly the damned illegal Mexicans are so hard done by, not giving a hoot about their fellow citizens. It is disgusting. And Canada is not any better.

peanut,all the countries have thousands of homeless people,not just america..you should come and see my country :(

Other (mainly european) countries gave the US 850 million after hurricane katrina. All through high school we collected money to help poor american children (also other countries where they have lots of poverty). My mother sponsors an american kid called Jake by giving him a couple of dollars a day (she found him through one of those agencies). So stop complaining about your country giving money to others, when others give more to you. And no, the US doesn't send billions to "crappy countries". They use billions for war though.

with the bad economy you cant say that all these people are there because of drug relations, but most are indeed victims of drug abuse. i feel sorry for them but thats the life they choose.

poor people :(

Actually, according to the Department of State, the U.S. gave , in 2008, over 28 billion dollars to over 150 countries. Yes, some money is for those countries to buy weapons ( Israel, Egypt, etc) but a lot went to Africa to help fight AIDS, malaria, help with agricultural development, etc. Maybe you should look up the facts before saying things you know nothing about.

Show us the statistics were it said that they "gave" that much money to aid people. Otherwise stop making shit up.

i rather be homeless in los angeles than live in romania

guess what! State of Florida mandate for drug test. No assistant who use drug! something happening..
