The U.S. ambassador to the Vatican said that during Pope Francis’ visit to the United States next month, he expects the Pope will urge the U.S. to embrace its history of welcoming immigrants.
Ambassador Kenneth Hackett said the Pope’s immigration message will be important as lead GOP presidential contender Donald Trump has called for a border fence between Mexico and the United States and the deportation of millions of illegal immigrants, the Associated Press reports.
“I think he’ll call us to continue to engage with it (the world), don’t throw any walls up around our nation, don’t revert to isolationism,” he said. “We are a nation of welcoming people, so that’s where I think he will put his attention.”
In addition to immigration, Hackett says Pope Francis will likely wish to discuss income inequality, family issues, and the environment while he is in the country.

Let the Pope Francis give all the Church has to the poor and pitch tents for service around the world, then tell us who to pay for in this world.
This Pope is an Obama Pope, the opposite kind of Pope we had in John Paul 2 who helped Reagan and Thatcher overcome communism around the world which hurt people.
This is a horrible person as Pope IMO.
That is my view as a Catholic.
Hitler wanted to dissolve the borders of Europe and create a Third Reich. The Vatican™ was on his side before they weren’t on his side. It seems the Vatican™ has a problem with borders and control migration.
When he first was elected I was certain that his Jesuit background would become a problem. Sadly, I was correct. He may be the third secret incarnate.
effing idiot pope, maybe this clown should open up the Vatican for immigrants instead of being a hypocrite and making us have the burden
More evidence that the Holy Father is out of his Holy Head.
Lighten up, Francis!
Pretty obnoxious for a tax free organization to spend our money.
I.m sure the Vatican has full staffing on servants, maids, and landscapers. So do we.
Fag
We are completely open to immigrants
Don’t care how many come to America
Sohhhh.....uhmmmmmm.....GFY and your United Nations Utopian ideals
The pope is an “undesirable alien.”
He should be kept out, like Cat Stevens was.
How much more open can the get?
The Pope can go screw himself.
How many refugees are now living in the Vatican? During the Holocaust Pius XII hide persecuted Jews in the Vatican, and in Pope out of Rome residence, Castel Gandolfo and also ordered all Catholic institutions in Nazi occupied Europe to hide the Jews. He gave the Roman Jews gold chalices to pay as ransom to the Nazi authorities in order to save Jews threatened to deportation to extermination camps. Over 800,000 Jews were saved thanks to Pius XII and the Catholic Church. That is to preach by example.
What is doing the Marxist liberation Pope for the persecuted and massacred Christian in Muslim countries? Is he ordering all Catholics institutions around the world to receive and sponsor those Christians to save them from another Holocaust as brutal as the Nazis’ Holocaust of Jews?
FDR denied the Jews fleeing Europe refuge in U.S., now Obama is denying refuge to Christians while opening the door to their tortures, the Muslims.
As a sovereign nation we have a process for that.
Those violating that process are here ILLEGALLY!!!
There is no obligation to embrace violations of our sovereignty.
He should learn from past history when ancient ROME was destroyed by massive immigration. Germans, Goths, Vandals.
Now we are in the age of THE CAMP OF THE SAINTS coming to pass.

We have always been open to legal immigration. Let the POPE and his trillion dollar empire holding company open its doors to illegals. Unfortunately, the Catholic church got saddled with an imposter just as we got saddled with an Islamist radical. This Pope spreads the word of Communism/Socialism while Pope John Paul, Ronald Reagan and Maggie Thatcher are turning over in their graves.
I’m waiting for the pope to sell-off the wealth of the vatican. No? Then he is a big hypocrite. Is it possible for this marxist uninformed clown to be infallible? No.
We already welcome legal immigrants; we don't welcome foreign invaders.
