This not include the most well and transparent NGO like Save the Children or Doctors Without Border, but migration crisis become a business for someone, as the trial called Mafia Capitale has show.

Profit for few, hell for many, as usual.

The Pope loves washing feet of people, who will blow up Catholics, too much to call for border enforcement.

YC wants to blame anyone other than the Left.
