Pope Francis has decried the “inhuman” conditions facing migrants crossing the U.S.-Mexico border and has encouraged communities there not to judge people by stereotypes but welcome migrants and work to end discrimination.
Francis made the appeal in a letter to a Jesuit priest who helps organize Catholic teens in Nogales, Arizona, to support the Kino Border Initiative, which advocates a more humane solution to migration. The letter was dated Dec. 19 but was made public on Kino’s website recently. […]
Francis has made migration one of the priorities of his pontificate and will likely raise the issue when he visits the U.S. in September. On Thursday, U.S. officials confirmed he would address Congress on Sept. 24, the first pope to do so. …

It’s so inhuman to feed them, clothe them, house them, delouse them, and medicate them
By all means, take them all into the Vatican City.
Here’s a thought: tell them to respect American law and quit trespassing across the border.
What about the inhuman conditions of the hellhole in which you were spawned? HMMM?
If we did all that, how come EV-68 and Measles popped up all over the country? /S
WHY did Benedict go away..?
I thought that was all EXTREMELY WEIRD AND SUSPICIOUS.
Does Vatican City have an open border policy?
Ummm the Vatican doesn’t have 11 million people crossing its borders and trashing the place and demanding welfare and the whole southern section of vatican city be renamed a new country Aztlan.
But Popa, why or why is Mexico so cruel to those from her southern border?
Here’s a more humane solution to migration - STAY HOME. If conditions are not good at home, they can work to improve them and change their kleptocracies. The Pope should be aiming his comments on the home conditions of these people wanting to leave their countries, not on those who are forced to deal with this invasion.
I agree; the drug running and disregard for the law is inhuman.
It's the fault of the Americans who should take in all 6 billion of the planet's poor.
so we can’t protect our borders but Mexico and other countries can put armed guards on their borders with orders to shoot, got it.
Yet again the hypocrisy comes to light.
I’ve about had it with Francis.
The Pope has been talking with Jeb Bush.....
It’s all those anti-vaccine Americans. We all know that the diseases came from them, and not those children from countries that are notorious for epidemics. /s
It sounds like a good reason for illegals not to go our border. A good religious leader should advise his flock to not come here, but stay home in their predominately Catholic countries, and make them better places for their people.
I’ve heard things I don’t like from popes before, but this man is endless in his folly. Absolutely endless. Every time he is in the news, it is not good.
