So just build houses for the homeless and then they won't be homeless

No actual ideas, just complaints, lists of enemies, and conspiracy theories.

 There are a billion people who would move into the USA, or into
Dallas, if we offer them free housing and food and medical care.

Western Europe offers better social security than the USA, including socialised medicine, and while they do get a lot of migrants, they don't get billions of them.
Fairly obviously, what's on offer isn't free housing, food and medical care, even if they do manage the undeserving poor more generously than the US seems willing to.

And there are thousands of consultants and providers and NGOs who will
manage the money.

It's job - much like any other.

Basic conservation principles are not conspiracy theories.

But posting absurd claims about the poor is much the same kind of misinformation as the junk peddled by conspiracy theory enthusiasts.
It make the people who peddle it feel good, if they are too dumb to notice that it is meaningless twaddle.
