From Kelly McLaughlin and Ollie Gilman writing at the Daily Mail:
Pope Francis made a thinly-veiled swipe at Donald Trump as the Pontiff defended Latino immigrants who came to America at ‘great personal cost’ during a moving speech to 40,000 followers in Philadelphia.Francis called on migrants from Mexico and the rest of the world to “not feel discouraged by all the challenges and hardships” they face, saying they should never feel ashamed of their own traditions.
The Pope’s words come in direct contrast to Trump’s calls for a wall to be built along the Mexican border and for stricter controls on who can enter the U.S.
Speaking from the lectern used by President Abraham Lincoln when he delivered the Gettysburg Address, Francis directly addressed America’s Hispanic population, saying: “Thank you for opening the doors. Many of you have emigrated. I greet you with my heart.
“Many of you came to this country at great personal cost, but in the hope of building a new life. Do not feel discouraged by all the challenges and hardships you might face. I ask you not to forget that, like those who came here before you, you bring many gifts to this new nation of yours....

Jane: I can also address my point to you that I made in 17.
Long, long ago, in a galaxy far, far away, I didn’t understand that it was an invasion. But during the last 15 years or so of reading these threads, the FReepers have educated me. It is indeed a foreign invasion. Just as the Muslims have invaded and taken over Europe.
There’s no such thing as cheap foreign labor. The price is your country and your liberty.
Trump on this Pope:
Ops Francis is nothing more than a faint shadow of John Paul 2 who actually spent his time fighting communism, oppression or poverty.
Pope Francis in contrast goes to Cuba without speaking out about political prisoners all over that country.
Pope Francis didn’t have the courage to come out against Planned Parenthood and abortion but managed to come out against working people who use Capitalism which has proved to be the most successful system on earth.
When Pope Francis does get to the earth, he gives people almost parody with God in the ability to affect the weather and climate. Francis comes from a failed country with failed leftist policies and should stick to the Bible because more than likely the earth will survive all of us.
We want to build a big wall like the Vatican and mirror a tougher immigration policy like maybe the Vatican which has among if not the toughest immigration policies on earth.
Air conditioning and heating could have saved tens of thousands of lives across the world if available; whereas liberalism has saved nothing.
Dud he mention how many he invited to move to Vatican City?
That Son of a Bitch needs to sit down, shut up and go home.
Dear Pope, tear down that wall. Look at all those people waiting to come in. That is just very unkind.
The anti-capitalism, global warming, amnesty pushing pope has enthralled and validated the leftist media. They’re in a state of ecstasy. He is now their god.
The reason he is getting so much coverage is because he is preaching leftist politics and global warming and and not Church Doctrine or tradition.
If he spoke about sin and Christ and repentance and glorifying God, and following the traditions and doctrines of the gospel, they'd turn the mic off faster then you can say "Jesus Christ is Lord."
FWIW, I don't think Frank has said that since he got here - if he has ever said it at all.
They’ve come here at great personal cost? Then why the hell did they come here? They weren’t invited. They chose to come here. Frank, you don’t even make sense any more.
“I am just wondering if this cluelessness to the realities of America, emblematic in Francis’ statements to what is going in 2015, is going to create a backlash.”
AGREED.
The MORE the Anti-Americans hit Trump THE MORE
The AMERICAN CITIZENS LIKE THE DONALD.
Keep it up - “Progressives”
Since ... I don’t want to say. But it is fairly recent.
I keep going back to a conversation I had, well it was more of a statement told to me directly, from the wife of a Spanish pilot here from Spain in the military. We were all in the military
She said, and btw she was just lovely and respectful as was her husband, she said, the Spanish have taken over wherever they have decided to be. That’s the way we Spanish are. We succeed in settling wherever we want to go”
They did not settle in America the U.S. That is. Not that they didn’t want to, either
To live here in Texas is a constant reminder of that woman’s claim
But it must stop. Who will stop it
There’s that plus the mooz.
To the Pope. If you are so worried about illegals then tear down the wall around the Vatican. Then let all the illegals in. Especially the ones from the Arab countries.
We’d just like some say as to who can enter the country. You know, like they do in Mexico or the Vatican.
Im not reading any attack on Trump here what am I missing? And as far as what the Pope said about illegals, if he really feels that way he should practice what he preaches and let them stay with him at The Vatican, lets see how that works out
Indeed Fox is 24/7 Pope Francis so that they don’t have to talk about Trump or fill the void on Fox by the lack of Trump live on any of their shows. Talking about The Donald, or not having The Donald on Fox are both losers for them, so all Pope all the time.
I called him “poop” a little over a year ago, and I was shot-gunned... are those same people still supporting this NWO socialist?
That was pretty clear! So I guess it is safe to say Laz would not hit the Pope!?
Wishful thinking
