Or a homeless 'vet' who's living on the streets in the UK and begging to survive or a guy who's been kicked out of the family home following a split and is living in a car. Not so much sympathy or support for them eh?
If we're going to hand out shelter and support (however modest) to people who're illegal economic migrants (and I believe we shouldn't), I'd prefer it if we dealt with the needs of our own desperate, hungry, homeless people first but hey they're not in the news and who's speaking up for them? Maybe they need to gang up en masse, head down to London and threaten to jump in the Thames in order to get some help.
