Letter to the editor: Let's help our homeless like we help immigrants

The current estimate on immigrants illegally crossing the southern border since President Biden took office is approximately 5 million people. Where are these people now? How are they living? Where are they living? How do they eat? Does the U.S. government provide them with free housing and health care and other economic aid? And free education for the children?

The 2022 U.S. estimate for Americans who are homeless, living on the streets, in tents and anywhere they can, is approximately 580,000 people, including the elderly and children. Why can’t the Biden administration provide free housing, health care (including mental health) and education, and economic aid to all of the homeless citizens in our own country?
