Govt Orders Elderly Couple To Sell House To Make Room For Asylum Seekers


“Make way! Make way!”

An elderly couple in their 70’s were left shocked.

They had recieved a letter from the government that said they were planning on seizing the property and giving it to those who truly deserved it. Illegal immigrants.

These stories just keep coming, don’t they?

Do those in charge not see that we see them?

Do they think they can keep up this replacment plan of theirs?

MSN reports:

An elderly couple have been left horrified after receiving a council letter trying to force them out of their ($250,000) home in order to accommodate asylum seekers.

Jose, 76, and Ted Saunders, 78, moved into their property recently, just before a compulsory purchase letter came through the letter box.

The couple said they were “insulted and shocked” by the letter penned by North Northamptonshire Council.

It labelled the mid-terraced Rushden home empty or “derelict”.

Jose, a retired carer, told the Daily Mail: “The idea of forcing us to sell it to make room for refugees and asylum seekers seems totally wrong.”

She added: “What on earth is the council doing forcing people to sell their houses – and even an empty house is owned by someone – so that asylum seekers can live in them?”

The letter sent to the Saunders, which was headed “Empty properties and sites initiative”, said: “We are writing as we have reason to believe that the above-named premises… is empty or unused.

“The Government has identified empty privately-owned properties as a potential cause of blight within communities, and as a wasted resource at time of high housing need.”

The couple responded by calling the council and asking what was going on.

They received an apology three days later, saying staff mistook the property for possible compulsory purchase.

Those in the UK may not have a ‘Border Wall’ issue, but they certainly have the same illegal immigrant problem.

It seems to be an epidemic all over.
