So, Frank, what are you doing to help them fix up their own $#*+hole countries so they don’t feel the need to invade others?

They are both. The citizens of Europe and America are people too, and they have a right to protect their way of life.

Stuff a sock in it Frankie. You have made a total jackass of yourself. Soros must have sent him out to mouth this nonsense.

I’ll take the Vatican seriously when it unloads all the loot in the Vatican Museums and donates the proceeds to refugee relief.

Criminals (invariably referred to in the media as “migrants”) coming here to steal tax money from the people who belong here are people too, eh Frankie?

Right, Bergoglio, right. How’s this:

Nazis are people.

Mongols are people.

Conquistadors are people.

Vikings are people.

The Antichrist is you!

Dear Moron Pope: AMERICANS are people who deserve as much respect as anyone else. If you hold that our customs, culture and laws are beneath the attention or respect of others then you are a hypocrite ass!

If the Pope was interested in truth and respect for the law, he would have said:

“These are not mere social or migrant issues. They are persons and they and their enablers are subject to the civil and criminal laws of the states (nations) they choose to invade."

MIGRANTS ARE PEOPLE.

ILLEGAL ALIENS ARE PEOPLE AS WELL. THEY ARE ALSO CRIMINIALS BY LAW.

They are the symbol of all those rejected by today’s globalized society.

I think he's onto something there, albeit accidentally. Plenty of shithole countries do nothing to clean up their own act, they are just pointing fingers at others, especially at USA, for not fixing the problems they should be fixing themselves.
Patriotism can be good when applied correctly. Every person and every nation are responsible for themselves, for starters.
You can't fix the whole planet at once when you can't even fix a small patch of land, especially with a political system that has failed every time.
So dear Pope, since migrants are people, why don't you help set a stage where they can do meaningful work in their home countries instead of fleeing and dragging down others?

Also, don't let Atheist Marxists preach Christian values to us. They are doing so with bad intent.

Yes, they are people, whose land is being stolen when they are lured away to dangerous journeys fraught with human trafficking and violence. I notice the Church has been complaining about pretty much all of the land grabs but their efforts seem to be utterly ineffective, which is odd because embarrassing people into doing the right thing seems like it would be in their wheelhouse. Also, you have to go hunting for this information, and Francis has a mighty big megaphone. He could surely raise awareness if he wanted to, rather than making the case for why these journeys should be undertaken.

Popes are men.

Some Popes don’t meet the grade of St Peter

And how many migrants does the Vatican house? Why that would be zero, just like all the other liberal loud mouths. They don’t want that riff raff around them. That is for the little people.

If this Pope had moral credibility and had not demonstrated such an affinity for homosexual behavior and delusional thinking, he might have some influence on affairs. However people simply don’t trust what he says and rightly identify him with anti capitalist, anti nationalist socialists who will bring ruin to Western Civilization, create poverty and social dysfunction.

If he were not delusional, he would note that migrants, virtually all non whites migrate toward white civilization because despite overt racism, they know their lives will be better living among whites. Their endemic cultures have not provided or created much more than sustenance living. This is reality. Yet when it is spoken openly, those who dare to recognize reality are called “racist” and are punished. The problem goes unsolved. Western culture cannot remain intact if it is transformed by hordes of culturally alien migrants. The Pope, if he had retained his moral authority, would do better to critique the decadence, hedonism, widespread drug use, abortion and crass neo paganism that is destroying Western Culture from within. Perhaps then he might understand those decent people who realize what is really happening and are trying preserve their heritage.
