So is this like a magical piece of paper that lets you travel and work around the world? Wow...

This is not how it works

And doesn't allow you to take permanent residence and a job? Also, that's likely $70 he doesn't have.

That was supposed to be my point, that just the passport is a lot of money, but apparently I failed.

Just goes to show how deeply people here cannot empathize with being poor. You said "passport is like $70 bucks" which people down-voted assuming you were were being naive and dismissive of the problem where you were really pointing out an even more immediate challenge.

The takeaway from all this being: This man's potential employers are unlikely to even begin to be able to fathom the challenges he faces day-to-day.

I meant that even it alone is expensive for a guy who's homeless, not that it's cheap.
