You’re right; Addressing the financial pain-points, and securing the future of the children of the bottom ~90% should be the US’s primary concern.
Successfully doing so is what buys a political party sufficient goodwill to be able to address social concerns for minorities in need.
It is literally the “why are we sending aid overseas when we have starving children here” meme, but unironic.
