Well, it sure wouldn't surprise me to see place passing laws to drive out the homeless. It was common practice during the Great Depression, and people can deny it all they want, but we are in a depression. When you get to the point where there are more people than you can keep on the safety net, you try to sweep them under the rug and make them someone else's problem.
As far as rounding them up and putting them in camps? There'd be more reports of it than just this. People would start to notice it. For one thing, the homeless tend to congregate in urban areas, so they'd have to be rounded up and made to disappear from there.

SLC Utah is putting the homeless into empty houses. Look to see how they make it work.

3.5 million homeless but 18.5 million vacant houses.
And who is going to run the housing?
How much will that contract cost tax payers?
It's easy to say let's give homeless a house in theory. But you just can't hand out a house to just anyone. How will they afford to pay for utilities, taxes and maintenance of the house? In practice it will cost tax payers alot of money.
