Why is there no condemnation of the sh!thole countries these people are fleeing from?
Why is there no condemnation of the human traffickers who transported them, knowing full well they may be rejected or die of exposure? Certainly not all of them walked the whole way.
Why do no one question the immigrants themselves who could not be bothered to go through legal immigration procedures?

Same questions regarding the Mexico-US border.

What does letting murderous muzzlime terrorists into one’s country have to do with the Catholic religion?

Commie Pope should bring them all to the Vatican to live behind his walled country.

Trump Calls Wall ‘Moral’ Because Vatican Has One. So What’s Its History?
By Laura Geggel January 03, 2019 on LiveScience.com

In the ninth century, Pope Leo IV announced that Vatican City needed walls to protect it from the Saracen pirates who were pillaging southern Italy. (Saracen is a term from the Middle Ages that refers to Arabs and Muslims.) After the Saracens attacked Rome and the basilicas of Old St Peter’s and Saint Paul Outside the Walls in A.D. 846, Pope Leo IV ordered the construction of a 39-foot-tall (nearly 12 meters) wall around part of Vatican City, an independent city-state where the pope lives.

In medieval times, walls were commonplace. Most major cities — including London, Paris and Jerusalem — had them.

“The walls are a fortification, there is no question, but they were a fortification built at a time when armed invasions by barbarians and other forces were happening,” Diane Apostolos-Cappadona, a Catholic studies professor at Georgetown University, told The New York Times. “And that is not the same thing we are talking about with a wall between the U.S. and Mexico.”

But the imposing wall soon opened up, according to historians.

“Gradually, the Muslim threat receded and many gates were opened in the walls,” Thomas Noble, a papal history expert at Notre Dame University, told the news website Best Life.

Other popes expanded the wall during the 1400s and 1500s, but these stretches were less about defense and more about making “a political and cultural statement” about the pope’s power, Gerard Mannion, a Catholic studies professor at Georgetown University in Washington, D.C., told The New York Times.

If only the Pope could focus on a higher calling. We have enough politicians.

This Pope should worry about doing the work of the Lord and forget about politics. This man worries more about political things and does not worry about people’s souls because he is a Jesuit and that apparently is Jesuit training. Just look back at the Berrigan Brothers and their actions and it explains alot!
