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".

Gates has a nickel for every time Windows crashed.

I guess now he wants to give a nickel every time someone crashes trough America’s gates.

What is it about some billionaires that gives them such weird ideas? Must be some kind of false guilt about being so wealthy. You can help people without wrecking our country. How about trying that for a change?

Or his wife and daughters. The guy is all mouth.

I doubt it, though he probably doesn't care whether your family gets raped.
These elitists think they are insulated from this stuff, and for the most part, they are, but NOT indefinitely.

So is Gates vying for Soros’ position of anti-American, socialist POS?

"And LINUX blows windoze away you giant douche."

OS/2 blew Windows away too, back in the OS wars (~1987-1997). OS/2 was and still is, a far superior Object-Oriented Operating System.

But IBM surrendered. The media preferred Windows hype.

And when Microsoft was held for obvious Antitrust violations, all you CONSERVATIVES screamed "Big Government - bad! Let them off the hook."

Oh, I remember.

Bill Gates should move out of his gated fortress and into a neighborhood that is impacted by the invasion of the US, and send his children to public school there.
