VATICAN — In a powerful show of solidarity with people who cross America's southern border illegally, Pope Leo XIV unveiled a brand new Papal Sombrero at the Vatican.
The ornate Spanish headwear is trimmed with real gold and cost $12 million, according to sources.
"Church teaching is clear on this. Walls are racist, and deporting illegal immigrants is a mortal sin," said Pope Leo as the Sistine Chapel Choir sang a lively rendition of "La Cucaracha" in Latin. "Also, our Catholic NGOs at the southern border are strapped for cash, and withholding these needed funds is an affront to the teachings of the church."
"Omnes qui hunc pileum vident, pudore impleantur ob consilia Donaldi Trump."
Sources say Leo then treated his Cardinals to an all-you-can-eat taco bar prepared by authentic illegal immigrants.
Trump hit back against the Pope's criticism. "Loudmouth Leo needs to stop talking before he hurts himself very badly," said Trump on Truth Social. "He's not good at talking, or anything else, really. I'm not even sure he's a real pope. He's from Chicago. That makes no sense. Stick to the church stuff, Loopy Leo!"
At publishing time, Pope Leo had also donned a Papal Burqa in honor of mass Muslim migration.

Well, Leo, they could choose to leave the USA and take Peruvian citizenship. You did.
Hilarious and very believable.
I get the impression that like most liberals. this guy is a racist.
When I was in Abu Dhabi with all those celebrity biotech speakers, some of them wanted to wear native Emirati costume!

But our Emirati hosts said that it would NOT be appropriate!
