the ones who demand better conditions and protest by standing on the roofs of the buildings, or the ones who set fire to their own homes. yes it's happened. the living conditions may not be the best or up to standard but atleast the government is giving them a place to stay. if they come here to get away from their countries devestated by war but decide to start causing chaos then are they better than the people they despise back in their home countries?

reminds me of a dude from highschool who stayed at my place for a week during the school holidays since he had no where to go. my parents took great care of him but all he did was complain. what a prick

I'm sorry, are you talking about the detention centres? Because if so, damn STRAIGHT they should be complaining. Those places are causing so, so much harm to those who are locked up in them. And, you know, they are trying to find a better life - one where they aren't persecuted, where they aren't in danger of being killed, where their CHILDREN might, possibly, might just be safe. I think protesting bad living conditions makes them human, and to say that protesting means that they are like the governments they are fleeing from...Yeah, we're really going to have to disagree on that.

And if you are talking about something else, do you mind providing citations/sources? I honestly have no idea what you are talking about.
