Of course both can be done at once, of course illegal immigrants are not immediately linked to the homelessness epidemic.
But stories like the one Ghot mentioned still prove where the priorities of the Democrats lie: with the illegals, not with the American people.

This is not a "brown people vs white people" thing. The point is that "their own people" should have priority for politicians. American politicians derive their legitimacy from the vote of the American people, they derive their power from the money of American taxpayers, they take their oath to serve the best interests of the American people. Therefore, it is perfectly justified and not "racist" at all to demand that improving the living conditions of struggling Americans shall be the priority of these American politicians; and that it definitely shall take precedence over improving the living conditions of foreigners who didnt vote for these politicians and didnt pay taxes to keep the American state running.

There are a lot of resources and assistance for people that end up homeless

The problem with homelessness is addiction and mental illness

2 things that are the hardest to assist and change. Undocumented immigrants or not it doesnt change those 2 significant challenges with growing homelessness

i think it's wrong to even entertain the republican spin of 'dems care more about illegals than about americans' when it's clearly obvious that (progressive) dems primarily care about the average american, and are stupid enough to honestly admit that their policies will ALSO benefit undocumented immigrants (who contribute more than they benefit, and who also have lower crime rates than americans, just to inb4 the other moronic talking points). it just feeds into the divisive rhetoric of the far right, aimed at riling up poor ppl agains poor ppl of a different colour, so that their policies (which primarily benefit the donor class and fuck over poor people of all ethnicities) will remain unnoticed by the morons who still elect them...
