Stereotype posted:I would like to see some numbers to back this up. Europe already has a significant homeless population, why are these refugees so easy to house and integrate into society? Also turning Europe into Lebanon doesn't seem very realistic considering their government is extremely overtaxed and is in danger of collapsing itself. You're seriously comparing refugees to homeless folks? I work with a lot of homeless people, and the long term homeless aren't homeless because no one can find anywhere to house them. They tend to have substance abuse issues and mental health problems that make them fundamentally incapable of participating in modern society the way 99% of us can. Even when tons of resources are thrown at them they often just can't manage. It's really tragic. There are also a lot of short term homeless people who have had their lives hosed up somehow but don't have crippling mental illness, and these folks excel at getting their lives back on track with a little assistance. These are the ones that are largely invisible because they aren't out panhandling or muttering on street corners or getting arrested by the cops. They're the ones all the resources that we offer actually help. They need a hand up and once poo poo stabilizes they become as productive members of society as any of us are. Which category do you think refugees are going to fall into? Because you seem to be implying the former but they match up far better with the latter. This isn't a population of severe schizophrenics or lifelong alcoholics. These are normal people who had normal lives and normal jobs and then had their country go to poo poo. Really, the existence of a homeless population has absolutely nothing to do with refugees. You might as well wring your hands over the number of stray cats.
