I think this is a great idea.<p>It&#x27;s easy to hate the concept of immigration and, by extension, the thought of millions of immigrants pouring into your home country. In fact, we&#x27;re hardwired to have an aversion to this idea. Humans have always formed small units such as families or tribes in order to compete with other humans for limited resources. Immigrants are easily lumped together into a menacing tribe of competitors.<p>But when you host someone, they stop being &quot;just another immigrant&quot; and you can start to see them for what they were the whole time: a real person with a voice, a smile, sorrow, joy, tastes, quirks, humor, goals, and dreams. Empathy is crucial.<p>It&#x27;s not going to solve the larger problem of the millions of immigrants displaced by war or corrupt governance, but it probably will have a positive impact on thousands of lives, which is an awesome outcome for a small group of people looking to make a change through technology.
