Not sure I trust wide-ranging legislation to solve them

I believe border security / immigration is a federal issue. However, right now Texas is taking control of its own border security in opposition to the federal government. We should be able to solve this at the federal level, but can't seem to get everyone together on a solution.

With regard to homelessness, the only involvement I see from the federal government would be to help identify root cause, then, if there is a good universal solution, implement it, otherwise get out of the way. More often than not, experimentation is required and different methods work in different places. That's why local solutions tend to be more effective than broad legislation.
