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".

Yah; you betcha!
OK, Bill Gates - show us your largess by paying for it. Put your money where your intentions are.

There was a reason that Jesus told His followers to sell what they had and give the proceeds to the poor. You show your true colors by how you spend your own money. The easiest, most dishonest thing in the world is to run around doing good with other people's money (aka OPM / opium - the drug of choice of progressives everywhere!)

Gates can go to he double toothpicks. Globalist extraordinaire. He’s the epitome of what is wrong with globalism. He’s king of the globe.
