I&#x27;ve had a major change of heart..

Er... Wealthy people are taxed massive amounts of money which is being donated to the various aid schemes by the government, plus many of them give generously to charity.

I honestly don't think the solution is to take these people in - they are economic migrants coming from safe refugee camps in places like Turkey. The UK and by extension Europe cannot take countries full of people, crisis or not.

I'm all for helping out in any way I can, but I'm not having them in my house.

I can absolutely understand that, and quite honestly- Neither would my mum let anyone random in our house. For the safety of ourselves.

I agree with what the poster above has said; millions has been donated but where do you see the money really put into action and being used efficiently? They'll probably pop up in a month's time and say that they used all the money to, I don't know, give them clean air to breathe on their way here :facepalm:

I wouldn't take them into my home, no.

I would have people in my house in a heartbeat if we had the room.

The money is being used. Billions have been put into refugee camps.
It is through the idiocy of the "refugees" that they are dying - they are paying obscene amounts of money (that they could spend on their family!) to smugglers to get them out of safe countries rather than just staying and being safe!
They are already in safe, protected refugee camps yet they are ECONOMIC migrants coming to Germany and the UK.

That lady is just making an excuse. Of course she has the space. She has a 6x3ft space to fit someone in.

Just try and imagine yourself in their situations. Helpless and completely on the egde.

It's really sad. Alot of people consider me as quite harsh and cold but with the recent events, people have changed their opinion. I just wish all this stuff could stop.

You do have the room. You are just accustomed to luxury and feel that you don't wish to share it. Most of your fellow citizens are of the same opinion.

Here is what will happen if the State takes in millions of refugees:

Someone will knock at the door of your house in your nice middle class community. When you will open the door you will find commissar Jamal and commissar Hussein, who will tell you that having such a big house for yourself is not what a moral citizen does and 2 families of migrants will be moving in with you. You will be allowed to keep part of one room and a bed and necessary personal belongings. Everything else in the house will be shared.

They are in SAFE REFUGEE CAMPS. They are coming from safe countries where food, drink and shelter are being provided. It is THEIR OWN FAULT that they are giving all their money to smugglers to take them on dangerous routes.

They are economic migrants!

Many of them deny food and drink because the aid workers are Christian and wear crosses - they are Muslim so don't accept the food. Don't believe me, just Google it!

To try and get safety?

So Bodrum isn't safe?

France isn't safe?

This Egyptian billionaire wants to buy islands in the Mediterranean for refugees.
I'm all for welcoming them.
The blurry patch is their status. A lot of people seem to think that they're going to come here and stay and most likely integrate into the country. Is that the case? Or, is granting them asylum a more "temporary" measure, as in they'll go back when the situation has much improved (which will take decades if not more) because nobody really wants to leave their country unless they have to? It's complex.
