This feels like a crappy situation to be in. Governments up the chain have obviously dropped the ball if we're bringing in refugees without actually having solid plans to support them, sponsors etc.

Meanwhile increasing amounts of citizens are suffering from homelessness due to the housing crisis.

If they think that "denying refugees" is going to spur racism and xenophobia, what exactly do they think will happen when citizens are turned away because the shelters are full of refugees the governments didn't adequately plan for?
