I caution you in comparing one group (immigrants) with another (homeless population) in such a way that appears to pit them against each other, or put one group in a better light than the other. I realize it is tempting to want to give your group an advantage, but both groups are deserving of help, no matter their challenges. That particular passage made an otherwise good piece off putting.
I had the same response. I understand the intent but calling these folks “worthy” in comparison to unhoused neighbors is disturbing. All human beings are worthy of care.
