Homan compares Vatican walls to US border in rebuke of pope’s deportation criticism
The Washington Examiner ^ | February 25 | Claire Carter

Posted on 02/25/2026 8:41:21 PM PST by Mr. Mojo

Border czar Tom Homan dismissed Pope Leo’s criticism of President Donald Trump’s deportation policies on Wednesday by comparing the fortified walls around the Vatican to the United States’s own border security efforts.

During a brief encounter with reporters, Homan was asked about Leo’s comments condemning mass deportations, including that the U.S. is doing them in a “disrespectful” way. Homan said Vatican City itself is a walled state and that the pontiff should focus on the Catholic Church’s “own issues.”

Pope Leo is an American who lived most of his life in Illinois. Its time for him to be asked publicly his voting preferences. Did he vote for the pro abortion Obama, Pritzger, Johnson , Durbin and other Democrats? Did he oppose ostensibly Catholic Notre Dame when they had the rabidly pro abortion Obams give the commencement address and confer on him a Doctor of Laws degree? Time for him to come clean about his values.

Excellent point, Mr. Homan. Keep up the good work! “He is without sin cast the first stone.” Hear that, Mr. Popester?

Great!!!

I’ve seen the Vatican walls, very thick, probably as impenetrable as the brain cells of those Somali loons.

Speaking of thick as a brick, what about that new Pope?

Pope Leo is a globalist fraud and a lot of Catholics know it.
Money bought the vatican.

"No one has said that the United States should have open borders," the Pope continued. "I think every country has the right to determine who enters, how, and when."

Yeah, I’m not too thrilled with Pope Bob. The ones being hauled off in the US are CRIMINALS overwhelmingly, not merely ordinary illegals. Rapists, Murderers, Pedos get arrested. They don’t get “respectful” treatment nor should they - anywhere on earth. They’re scum and they get arrested by the cops. We arrest our own scum the same way so spare me any whining for them.
