Of Course they want to bring them in, but do they want to help?

How does this make them a hypocrite, exactly?

I'd gladly take in refugee of war if I had any room (I live in a 1 bedroom apartment with someone else already). I do plan to volunteer to refugee causes, and have already donated multiple times to refugee funds.


I support women's right to an abortion, but I would never want one for my partner. Does that make me a hypocrite?

I support gay marriage, but I would never marry another man. Does that make me a hypocrite?


Standing up for immigration is just that...standing up for immigration. The fact that they won't physically take one into their homes has nothing to do with the issue.

Joey you pointed out the largest hypocritical truth of the left. They all want a pat on the back because they spend time holding a sign but are unwilling to do the hard yards

Should have ask, if you had the room, who would you take in. A "refugee" or homeless vet.. choices.. Who idea was it to send them here anyways knowing for the fact we do not have the funds to care for them.

Find money to bring them here, but cant find money to speed up the VA waiting list, Homeless shelters, Education, Better infrastructure. Yea think our priorities are f... up

They are apprehensive, do not have the resources nor the space. Kind of like our country.

Doesn't that make christians in favor of banning refugees hypocrites (or did we already know this)?

Why is that a valid reason not to put up a refugee family? You could certainly rent a larger apartment and provide them with a room. Or sleep on the couch and let them have your room.
