Bill Gates: US 'should take more' refugees
bbc ^ | january 22, 2016 | joe miller

Posted on 01/22/2016 11:15:42 PM PST by lowbridge

The billionaire philanthropist Bill Gates has told the BBC that the United States "should set a better example" by taking in more refugees.

Mr Gates said his home country "had the capacity" to follow the examples of Germany and Sweden, who were "to be congratulated" for welcoming migrants.

But he acknowledged that relaxing immigration laws "was not easy".

Speaking at the World Economic Forum in Davos, Mr Gates added that governments were dealing with "tight budgets".

However, he emphasised that the issue was largely a political one, and that "the total number of refugees is not a world record".

Well, ok, Bill. I’ll go along with that as long as you take them all in and make sure they stay on your property the whole time... /s

Bill, why don’t you just buy up a couple of Islands in the Carribean and put them them, with all the welfare they say is needed. Meanwhile, civilized folks don’t have to experience the nightmare now running wild in Germany.

BIll Gates’ primary residence house has only 66,000 square feet. No typo there, gang, that 66,000 ... Medina, Lake Washington.
.......... how many Islamonazi murderers and rapists can fit in 66,000 sq ft? I bet a whole gang, with room to spare...

ps: FUBG!

He must be on drugs. America is too “rasis” and the “refugees” hate our history, our flag and our country. They hate everything American. They need to stay the hell home where they won’t be “offended” all of the time.

Hey Bill, your place is big enough... Let them sleep in the room next to you if you want them so bad.

LOL. Are you kidding? I think he is an elitist. He would never open his home for terrorists, er, I mean refugees. He would prefer that YOU let them into YOUR home. Isn't that what most elitists would prefer?

Billy seems to think that working on a farm is comparable to a deadly disease. Dirt under your fingernails, and all that ......

Let’s have 300 permanently stay at Bill Gates’s house.

After 20 years, let us know, Bill, how that’s working out for ya.

Until then, take a hike.
