I’m not quite as tired of this pope as I am of the Clintons, but he’s getting there.

I’m guessing the Pope, like so many, is under the impression that these “children” are actually “children.”

Agreed. It would cost a lot less than the $3.7 billion Obama is trying to steal.

The Pope just called us all racists. Waiting for the Catholics to chime in with “translation errors” and other excuses.

How many? There must be at least a billion kids living in poverty equal to that of Guatemalan and Honduran kids.

forced to emigrate? Nonsense. They were not driven from their home, they chose to leave.

They are getting much better treatment than the Tea Party by the IRS.
