Pope Francis: Don't Send Migrants Back to Unsafe Countries
Newsmax ^ | October 24, 2021

Pope Francis on Sunday urged countries not to send migrants back to insecure countries such as Libya, where he said many suffer violent and inhumane conditions similar to those in concentration camps.

The pope's appeal at his Sunday blessing came as European Union leaders are struggling to overcome their differences on how to handle immigrants, an issue that feeds support for nationalist and populist groups across the EU.

"We have to put an end to the return of migrants to countries that are not secure," he said, citing "thousands of migrants, refugees and others who need protection in Libya."

Agreed, on the condition that the first 3000 are PERMANENTLY relocated to Vatican City and remain there permanently or the deal's off.

Seems the world;s religious leader needs to put his money where his mouth is. It is easy to tell everyone else what to do... how about SHOWING US how it is done.

Note that the Pope is now using the word MIGRANT, rather than ‘refugee’, since they are simply people looking to improve their lives (at the expense of others, of course).

I often equate the United States as a life boat. You see a ship go down in the middle of the ocean, you begin picking up those tossed in the water.

The life boat capacity is 25 people, you take in 28, then 30, then 35. The boat becomes a bit unstable. Feeling sympathy for those about to surely drown, you pull in several more, a few more...the life boat begins to list, taking on water.

Those in the boat begin to bale the water feverishly. The official of the life boat demands we pull in even more from the water.

The life boat then begins to sink. All on board gets thrown into the sea.

Yea...that’s kinda where America stands today.

If they send enough of those “migrants” here, we could end up just like the place they came from. Apparently, that seems to be the plan right now.

Hey pope-a-dope! Their countries are dangerous because of them. If you import them, the USA becomes dangerous!

Perhaps Francis can commission ocean liners, load them with refugees in Libya and transport them for refuge in Argentina. Each ship could hold 4,500 people. That would be impressive.

Why isn’t this the first thought that comes into 100% of folks minds?

It’s like tptb are poking us in the eye with a stick to see if we are brain dead yet.
