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.

Seriesly: billeting ISIS?

This is why we have the Third Amendment.

“No Soldier shall, in time of peace be quartered in any house, without the consent of the Owner, nor in time of war, but in a manner to be prescribed by law.”

It’s easy. Buy extra bolt locks, install metal doors, bars on the doors and windows, put up motion sensor lights and procure a gun by whatever means or at least a few medieval weapons. The best option to offer that extra space to is a couple of guard dogs.

The US is up to their eyeballs in debt too. I have to assume the ‘big men in Washington’ who want to push how ‘feeling’ they are will insist we borrow more money from the Chinese so we can put up these refugees...

Yes, many (180000 I believe).

But then they are white or black and not ‘refugees’ being cooed over by UK media.

The figure inc Scotland and NI is probably 200000.

That figure includes all with no home, but put up in hotels or temp accommodation. Those actually sleeping rough is much smaller: probably about 4-5000. Most in London.

Here is how.

Pay for their bus transportation and give them a map with the locations of DemocRAT elected officials’ homes.
