Should the government increase temporary housing to accommodate immigrants and refugees?

Temporary housing refers to short-term accommodations provided for those without permanent residence, in this case to support immigrants and refugees as they settle in a new country. Proponents argue that increasing temporary housing offers humane and stable support for newcomers, easing their transition and helping communities manage arrivals. Opponents argue that expanding temporary housing may strain public resources, affect local housing markets, and that other solutions may be more sustainable.

No, empty all migrant hotels and deport all illegal migrants

The government should simplify the process so those that claim asylum are processed quickly giving only those with a genuine claim the right to stay.

They should focus on giving temporary housing to homeless citizens of the country first and then immigrants and refugees without citizenship
