Pope Francis says migrants around the world are subjected to “racist and xenophobic attitudes” and he wants the tens of thousands of Central American children crossing the border into the United States to be “welcomed and protected.”

... He said that not only must the children be welcomed but the world must also promote development in their home countries.

Pope Says Children at U.S. Border Must Be ‘Welcomed and Protected’

We will have them on planes and heading for Vatican City within 48 hours your Holiness. You will then be able to welcome then and add your personal protection. Thank you so much...

What is the Vatican’s immigration policy? All welcome?

Maybe the Vatican can pick up the tab!

It is not the job of the US (or any) government to display compassion. It is the job of government to apply the law evenhandedly and dispassionately. It is the job of individual Christians to display compassion.

Notice how this has turned into an anti-Catholic HATE thread?

It’s not just the leftists we have to fear.

Persecution from all sides, even if we disagree with this pope.

Think I’ll take a vacation from here.

If the children are welcomed and protected in the invaded country, the home country loses the desire and ability to develop itself. As always, the leftists get the order of priority backwards.

We need to import more illegals to provide a permanent electoral majority for the most anti christian political party the United Sates has ever seen.

This same party has killing of unborn babies forced embracement of sodomy as two signature policy positions.

This same party that denied and denounced Christ not once but thrice on world wide TV at it’s last major Presidential Convention. I am still astounded and more than a little frightened by that event

The Pope needs to have a moment of moral clarity here because he is defacto endorsing the forced imposition of virulent anti Christianity on the United States.

Meh-Hee-Co is also as racist as Apartheid South Africa, when it comes to their indigenous population.

While I agree with your comment, I wonder why it was directed to me. I was just alluding to the real meaning when someone from the South says, "Bless your heart." (Hint: it is not what you would expect if you are from the North...)

Now this is something I absolutely disagree with this pope.

Someone else said it, but I have no phobia about migrants. But I have good reason to want to protect the borders of my homeland, and also uphold reasonable civil laws and rebuke those who break them.

My comment was directed at you because you were the last person posting before I made my comment. Sorry, just following the string. I try to make this point when ever possible .

Just by pinging you two I will be accused of bashing Catholics by the FRoman Catholic contingent.

And then you will be held personally responsible for every dumbass comment made by any FReeper of any persuasion, as if you had posted them yourself, all because your name appears on the thread. Even your use of the word "of" will be considered a hostile comment.

If this man is not a U.S. citizen/taxpayer, he should shut up.

I’d give ‘em guns so they can overthrow their corrupt governments.

"How about some hundreds of thousands of islamist kids set up camp at the Vatican?"

Well, Rick Perry did say that Muslims from Pakistan, Syria, Yemen, etc. are coming across with the Hispanics. So I guess they should be welcomed and protected, too, right?
