Ivanka Trump is set to visit India for an entrepreneurship summit later this month and one city is gearing up by banning beggars from the street.

Authorities have planned to take 6,000 beggars off the streets and into rehab centers and shelters in Hyderabad ahead of Trump's visit. The White House adviser is expected to represent the U.S. at the 2017 Global Entrepreneurship Summit.

President Donald Trump tweeted about his daughter’s trip in August. The U.S. is co-hosting the summit celebrating “Women First, Prosperity for All ” with India between November 28-30.

1. Why Haven't They Done This Before

"Authorities have planned to take 6,000 beggars off the streets and into rehab centers and shelters"

2. and if she mentions one word about her being a business woman she is in violation of federal law

3. Isn't begging entrepreneurship?

I. Ean it is living by the seat of your pants. Literally.

4. Shipping off the undesirables

Where have we seen this horror show before?

[Scarsdale]

5. When will she spend time

with her kids, getting acquainted? They will be calling the nanny "Mommy" soon, if they have not already. I wonder if she will get the same lukewarm reception she got in Tokyo earlier this week? Even people overseas are sick of this grifting family.

7. While I personally despise this awful Trump woman, this is an unfair criticism.

If a man traveled to India - I've traveled there myself - would you say the same thing?

The issue here is contempt for the poor, a feature of all Republicans, not "Mommy's traveling" stuff.

6. She cannot come into contact with these unwashed humanoids.

Oh the horror!

8. Major League Baseball's 2005 All-Star game was held in Detroit.

In preparation for the game (actually in preparation for the media), panhandlers and homeless were rounded up and housed in shelters. Same for the Superbowl game held later that year, although the homeless are not as visible in winter.

For both events, the Coast Guard presence and patrolling was increased on the Detroit River, to protect us from Canadians.

I'd bet many cities "prepare" for big visits by temporarily "cleansing" the environment.

Ivanka might be embarrassed if she spotted a beggar wearing one of her fashion items, sent to India after it couldn't be sold by a Salvation Army store in the U.S.
