The pope is right about inhumane treatment (which is not synonymous with deportation).
The pope is being hypocritical.
The United States admits more legal immigrants than any country on earth.
And by a large margin.
However if the pope cares to put the Vaticans money where his mouth is…..he should offer to provide free housing , medical care and residency for the millions of individuals who entered our country illegally.
They don't need free housing; they have jobs.
A. Some do ….some do not.
B. In any case those who did not enter the country legally are not entitled to residency. Unlike the over ONE Million of individuals who entered the US legally every year.
C. So let the pope stop being a hypocrite and put up the money necessary for the 'human' upkeep of these millions and grant them residency in the Vatican.
D. Anything less is pure hypocrisy.
They have a higher labor force participation rate than the native population, by a good margin.
It isn't the pope's job to solve our immigration issues. He's entrusted with the care of our souls. The Church recognizes that nations have the right to control their borders. They don't have the right to do so in a cruel or lawless manner. We support such policies to our own spiritual detriment.
Leo is simply and accurately stating our own church's teaching.
When he knocks down the walls around Vatican City Ill give a **** about what he claims.
Leftists always say they'll start listening to pro-lifers when we start speaking out against war crimes and militarism. They're not being honest with themselves either. The Catholic Church already does this, and of all pro-life institutions it is probably the most reviled.
Not sure what any of that means ... but point stands. Leo lives in a walled city criticizing others for not supporting illegal aliens. How many illegal aliens live in Vatican City?0
