Tennessee state Sen. Frank Niceley, throwing his support behind a bill that critics say would criminalize homelessness by allowing punishments for unauthorized camping, offered an unsolicited “little history lesson on homelessness.

They can come out of this … these homeless camps and have a productive life.
