A Homeless Shelter In the heart of a Drug Arrest Hotspot?
It’s no secrect at this point that large numbers of illegals are entering our country every month. I-35 is the main route that connects the southern border to the center of the country, Kansas City.
Trafficking tends to bring drugs with it, and as data shows, this location is a hotpost, and could attract criminal and illegal activities.
Issue 1
No priority is given to the homeless population in Johnson County.

Issue 2
People in our country illegally are allowed to stay in the shelter.
Commissioners voted NOT to check for U.S. citizenship or legal status such as a green card or student visa.
Issue 3
Reserving beds for local Police use
