Migrant privileges a cause of division

It is my personal opinion that if I were a family living in a two-bed tatty council flat, having been waiting for a number of years for larger accommodation, and a migrant/immigrant family were housed in a three-bed house, either new or old, I would be absolutely furious. What person wouldn’t?

This unfair scenario goes on and will continue to cause further division between those that receive such accommodation to those who’ve waited longest for rehousing until such time those who have waited longest are housed first.
