… in interviews last week with more than a dozen migrants, many who spoke to NBC News expressed fear that they won’t make that deadline, especially because it is nearly impossible for the newest arrivals to get rental assistance and quick access to work permits. Advocates say it’s unlikely that everyone will be able to successfully transition out of the shelters and instead will need to reapply for access to another shelter. They fear some will end up homeless.

      Not to mention that we have the highest percentage of mass killings compared to any other country. Despite spending more on defense funding than any other country in the world by a very very large margin. When you vote, do you actually look at, in depth, who you are voting for?

        Oh, I forgot. We also have the highest percentage of incarceration.

              I apologize. I’m on a bit of a tear. I used to be very proud to be an American, and now I am only pissed off.
