You're not likely to change the mind of the person you're arguing against; but there is a good chance you may influence the mind of others reading the argument who are currently on the fence, and who may otherwise just see the other person's side without any counterarguments. This is the more important consideration IMO (in general, not just this specific subject).

Have they not read through the arguments dozens of times at this point? How much does it actually take to convince someone that you're worthy of basic human respect?

That's a solid point, I need to look into grants that might do relocation aid.

That's an important thing, too. If you're (I don't mean you in particular, but just any person) going to do try to help, you need to be able to offer more than words. People in precarious situations often can't do a lot to help themselves.
