Another problem is catholic charities goes around the world they bring all the people from 3r world countries here. Catholic Charities helps them for a total of 6 months, then they are on their own. As story said they cannot make background checks. I think many are right at some point we will have a Civil War. We cannot keep on going at the rate we are going
Somalis are some of their favorite pet “refugees”.
