I cannot blame the President of the United States taking measures to guard the safety and wellbeing of his country. Something my country should do as well. As Trump said America first, Holland needs to go first as well. One of my mates has become homeless. He lived in an apartment which had a barbershop beneath it which he owned with his fiancé. His fiancé committed suicide some time ago because she was heavily alcoholic. My mate became depressed of it and he also cannot pay his rent and all the other stuff resulting in him forced to leave his apartment and become homeless. What does our government/ our politics do with it? Nothing. The governments housing corporation puts his name on a never ending list with his request to get access to an empty house or apartment. The problem is, that Syrian refugees get these empty apartments first, because they are "in more need for help". Absolute rubbish. If it's a family the yes but here in my city there are multiple empty houses which gets 4 or 5 Syrian males as residents. What about my mate? Well, he needs to take care of himself. On the streets. He moved in with mutual friend of ours but it's ridiculous. He is in dire need of a house but gets placed on this list full with other people in dire need of housing but because they're not refugees or immigrants they need to wait for dozens of years and take care of themselves. It's ridiculous and a disgrace. It creates a lot of hate and xenophobia. Of course these refugees are not to blame and do not deserve the hate they receive, our idiotic government is. Fix the problems in your own country first before you stick out your neck to help international affairs.
