Pope says migrants not 'pawns on chessboard of humanity'

As I interpret it, the Pope was actually attacking liberals (”globalists”) when referring to “pawns on the chessboard of humanity”. For it is that crowd responsible for using those people as mere pawns. It certainly is not Conservatives.

As I see it, he was actually making an unmistakable defense for national sovereignty and the rights of the host countries. FReeper stalwart markomalley has a link to the unedited statement in post #14.

[Mrs. Don-o]

I remember a black congresswoman once asserting, The Republican presidential campaign is based on racism, because it's all code words: they say "drugs" but they mean "black", they say "welfare" but they mean "black," they say "crime" but they mean "black."

What rubbish. I dunno. That's what I think of when people insist the Pope "doesn't have to 'say' illegal immigration to 'mean' illegal immigration." It's like people saying "You don't have to 'say' nigger to 'mean' nigger --- because we know you're a racist, and you were thinking nigger, ya racist!"

I'm so weary of that.
