We talked for a half hour or so. She had no interest in hearing my side except to tell me “we have been doing this for years”. The Catholic Charities have taken in 73 million for bringing in Muslims, not Christians. I told her the blood was on her head when they start killing people and burning kids alive. I guess you’d rather see us turn into Sweden or Germany.
I recommend you keep calling.
