Nobody here would let any stranger live in their home with them. Interestingly in countries like Pakistan it's almost common practice and hospitality outweighs inconvenience/awkward boundaries.
Exactly.

Also got to laugh at the idea of homeless people being 'put at the back of the queue' as someone suggested. It's not like the government sit around and say 'hmm, shall we help the homeless or refugees this year? WE CAN ONLY DO ONE! Okay, lets go with the refugees. Okay, next order of business, increase benefits for unemployed single mothers WITH MIXED RACE CHILDREN or give aid to injured ex soldiers that are down on their luck. Decisions Decisions!
