I suspect that I am more right than you realize...and of course, I did not make any claim that the number of illegals crossing the southern border were largely Asian or that they were a large percentage of the homeless.
There were 55 different nationalities caught entering at the border so far this year and released into the country...so the illegal/trafficking in illegals problem is not just one race or nationality. Neither is the homeless population. Of course, competition for housing with illegals likely causes citizens to become homeless. Anecdotally (here in OT) people have discussed multiple immigrant families living in single small family homes, combining incomes (driving home prices up due to the finite nature of housing in these many places).
One would expect that illegals are the most likely to avoid being counted, even so, the numbers may not be what you expect. Although there may be a lot of "white dudes" that are homeless in the US, the population of "white dudes is much greater than any other group...and there are Asians (even on the west coast) that are homeless (although the number reported/counted is small). Also, trafficked persons are also unlikely to be counted and a lot of illegal immigrants are trafficked (as compared to citizens).
Racial Inequalities in Homelessness, by the Numbers
June 1, 2020 | Data and Graphics
Most minority groups in the United States experience homelessness at higher rates than Whites, and therefore make up a disproportionate share of the homeless population. African Americans make up 13 percent of the general population, but more than 40 percent of the homeless population. Similarly, American Indians/Alaska Natives, Native Hawaiians and Pacific Islanders, and people who identify as two or more races make up a disproportionate share of the homeless population. Hispanics make up a share of the homeless population approximately equal to their share of the general population, while Whites and Asians are significantly underrepresented...

Of course, that is the United States where the number of illegal immigrants are imported daily is greater than elsewhere. The number of nonwhites is greater as are the number of them that are homeless (especially in the LA area):
