How do I offer a room to a refugee?
The Guardian (UK) ^ | September 11th, 2015 | Kate Lyons and Harriet Grant

Inspired by the images of refugees walking towards Germany, moved by the plight of those who have lost their lives trying to make it to Europe, people from around the country are eager to send the message that there is room for refugees in Britain. Charities have reported receiving a deluge of callers asking how they can take a refugee into their home.

Who needs your room? It’s not a Syrian family

If you have a spare room and want to give it to a refugee, it isn’t currently needed by those people whose pictures have been broadcast across the world in recent weeks. People who have an active asylum claim in the UK or who have been given refugee status may have very little to live on, but they are usually given somewhere to stay.

The 20,000 refugees that David Cameron has said the UK will take over the next four years will come in under a scheme that will provide housing.

Before they let the “Refugees” stay over, they should make them watch the Movies “Hostel” and “Hostel 2”.

Glanced at your Post and misread the word “CouchSurfing”.

That was close. I immediately thought “Lewinski”.

Meanwhile, in Poland, how about this winner of the Nobel Prize and his hospitality:

“Lech Walesa, the leader of the Solidarity freedom movement in the 1980s, said he would be willing to host refugees under his own roof and would even cook for them — if his wife agrees.”

But this Pole has it right,after hearing that the pope wants Catholics to open their hearts and home to the invaders:

“On the question of taking in immigrants, Pope Francis is wrong,” Jaroslaw Gowin, a prominent Catholic politician, said Friday. “In no case should we take in Muslims.”

Out of the Kindness of my heart, I’ll take in an 18 year old gal. Picture first :)

Me too. Preferably from the Ukraine. B-D.

I think the Syrian who raped the 7 year old German child is still looking for a home. I hope those people in Ireland crying big salt tears over the refugees offer up a little room in a B&B for this sad man. Put your daughters in chastity belts prior, of course, otherwise, feel free to invite him.

How in world did you tie in Lewinski to CouchSurfing?

Before they’ll allow you take in a “refugee”, you have to learn to cook Syrian goat stew, get rid of all your ham, pork chops and bacon and remove anything from your home that resembles a cross.

Why not expedite the process and just slit your own throat?

*shrug* I'm paying someone to slit my throat next week...

Liberalism is denial of human nature for some utopian ideal.

Wonder if they will allow asylum seekers trying to escape the Obama regime?

Reminded me of this SNL skit with John Belushi, Jane Curtin, and Bill Murray:

The Thing That Wouldn't Leave

"The refugees are threat to our culture, they will not assimilate with our society," said marcher Miroslaw Kadziela, 24.

This was my favorite line from the article you linked. Now there is someone with sense. EU leaders--and Barry--are a disgrace.

Asylum seekers who have been refused a permanent visa should leave or be deported and not hang around and be destitute. Simple....

I worked with one of those stupid liberals.
She put her home up as bail money for some low life she thought was worth saving,and guess what? The guy skipped and she lost her house.
Yeah,her heart still bleeds for the a******s of the world.

Uh, I said I just glanced at your Post and didn’t see the word “couchsurfing”. I thought I saw another word.

C’mon now, think. LOL

Send them to 1600 Pennsylvania Ave., Washington, DC. Tell the gate guard “The Mooch” is expecting them.

Makes as much sense as a college aged kid being an UBER driver/passenger......
If I was writing a crime novel, I would call it “Uber, ride of death”!
