True. They are going to have to put more money into services if they are going to let them in.

Maybe they could allow them to work in areas where there are shortages? English speaking doctors would be very welcome after training to align with English standards. Those who did service industry jobs could replace the EU migrants who left.

This way they would have their self respect and be able to thank the country that gave them sanctuary, they wouldn't be living off NAS payments, so instead of costing the taxpayer, they would be paying tax/NI instead.

Where we will house them isn't so simple. The Government have a lot of large surplus former DWP & tax offices that aren't selling, so at least initially they could stay there to be warm, dry and secure. Maybe they could be turned into bedsits/flats for more long term use??

Whilst I do want us to help them, I can understand homeless people asking the question :why couldn't/wouldn't you do the same for me?
