Pope Francis Will Stand With Migrants at U.S. Border Dudley Althaus And José de Córdoba Feb. 9, 2016 8:53 p.m. ET
MEXICO CITYâPope Francis arrives in Mexico on Friday for a six-day visit that will end with a highly symbolic and potentially controversial act: the pontiff taking a stand on the fortified U.S. border to show solidarity with the migrants trying to cross it.
The popeâs gesture comes at the height of a rancorous U.S. political season in which immigration has become a hot-button issue.
Two leading candidates for the Republican nomination, Donald Trump and Ted Cruz, have vowed to build a wall along the nearly 2,000 miles of the U.S.-Mexican border. Mr. Trump has said he would forcibly deport up to 11 million illegal migrants from the U.S.
The pope will hold a cross-border Mass in Ciudad Juárez on Feb. 17 just 90 yards from the U.S. frontier. Some 200,000 people are expected to attend on the Mexican side and an additional 50,000 across the Rio Grande in Texas.

if he does and violates our law, arrest his ass. His “standing” as a “head-of-state” be d-mned.
...then he returns to the safety of his protective, and guarded, wall.
He can start an orphanage in Mexico!
I’ve visited the Vatican, it has lots of space and extra rooms for refugees,
I wonder how many this Pope will be hosting inside those walls?
This is all a manufactured crisis invading western nations, to overwhelm, redistribute and diminish nationalism and to further promote that demonic spirit that flees along with those from the middle east, it is many things including not the least a spiritual incursion,
Western nations are being given over,
Its leaders and even so-called Christian representatives on the Earth are reprobate minds at work, doing those things which to anyone with common sensibilities knows is wrong, this is being reprobate, being devoid of all sound judgement and reason,
“The stranger that is within thee shall get up above thee very high; and thou shalt come down very low.” Deuteronomy 28:43
“My people are destroyed for lack of knowledge; because you have rejected knowledge, I reject you from being a priest to me. And since you have forgotten the law of your God, I also will forget your children.” Hosea 4:6
“And even as they did not like to retain God in their knowledge, God gave them over to a reprobate mind, to do those things which are not convenient; “ Romans 1:28
We have been the greatest force for good in the world for over 100 years...and have done far, far more than the Catholic Church to preserve liberal society and to remove evil and human suffering.
On what basis has he become our enemy?
I would love to see him spend a week down there disguised as a civilian to see what is really going on.
“It’s not a scandal.”
Really? Because I am scandalized, and betrayed on many counts.
There is nothing Marxist or homosexual in the nature of the Catholic Church.
So many mistake the abuses for the Church.
Every week there is another maledictum..
It’s a shame.
They are catholic and his constituents. It IS all political and now about truth, isn’t it?
It truly is..
“Not” about truth.
“the fortified U.S. border”
Heh, heh, heh. He said “the fortified US border.”
“I think the pope is Benedict and something really sinister happened behind the scenes.”
I agree.
OMG!! He needs to stick to what he was elected to do!!
Your Papa is an enemy alien.
What he is trying to do is delegitimize the border of the United States.
That’s WAR.
My relative Lord Protector Cromwell and his Roundheads would know exactly what to do with the alien Invaders trying to do this.
Seeya on the barricades, Bubba.
Let him stand with the Muslims on the border of Vatican City.
I’m Catholic and this really bothers me (as have other things he has said and done). He should stay out of political matters like this. If he wants to have a cause - what about all of the Christians and others that are being be-headed in the ME. We’ve seen the effect that the migrants (mostly young, able men) are having in Europe - we don’t need that here, nor do we need MS-13 or others that want to harm and/or not assimilate into our country.
I have a heart and feel for these people that have a poor life, but it’s not up to the tax payers of the US to welcome them in illegally and support them for life. There are many Catholic and other religious organizations that help people all over the world (such as Samaritan’s Purse run by Franklin Graham). I would much rather contribute to those, help people and let them stay in their own country.
Wasn't he hanged after he was dead?
I'll bet it was banning Christmas that did it.
