Tell them you can't house them and drain your financial resources while they get theirs in order. And that you don't run a Kennel or babysitting service.
And probably best of all, tell them that this situation would be uncomfortable for all of you, and it would only cause hurt feelings that you don't want to happen between you/you wife and them.

I like the Kennel/Babysitting angle here. But unfortunately, I feel it's not strong enough. Excellent effort, though.
Not a winner.
P.S. - To many others (but not Kaos), I'm detecting a bland commonality in many other responses that seem to suggest (and I'm paraphrasing), "Just tell him you don't want him there."
This response is A) dull, and B) clearly outside the scope of the parameters set up in the original contest. This response is like a bunt hit during a home-run derby. I need some ideas that are out of the park, and not Dr. Phil dribble.
From this point forward, these similar responses will be lumped together and judged as B & C (bland and common).
