You're not half heartless aren't you?

But seriously, it's really not as black and white as all homeless people being druggies or alchoholics. Of course they are homeless for a reason, but there are numerous reasons and not all of them are the person's fault as you seem to be implying.

I don't agree that they should have "rights" but I don't think they should be kicked back out onto the streets. I think help should be given or at least offered to those squatting. Obviously it wouldn't be nice to have people squatting in your house but I don't think squatting would be top of their list of places to "live".
