Flock from the entire world just to use homeless benefits in the US that barely sustains people? Outside of a refuge situation... citation needed.

You get a person without any documents, no long term contacts in the state/area, with a common name/surname, not remembering any official address they lived at.
How exactly do you think they'll be identified? And how much time money do you think it's worth to get a precise answer in that case?
It is in the interest of the person to identify themselves and provide proof that they are a citizen. Otherwise they are held until their nationality is identified for deportation. Need large scale facilities where unlimited number of such persons can be indefinitely, and profitably, held, so they are had to do work of some sort (patching roads for example, doing earthworks, etc.).
People become bums because they can. There has to be no practical way to remain a bum.
