Francis aspires to be the chaplain of the EU's secular City of the World. A change might be anticipated in Francis' unlimited pro-migrant policy if Erdogan is able to bring sufficient pressure to bear on EU planners that they have to modify their open borders policy to be more like Hungary while continuing to crow the open borders line.
Francis has taken a long-term lease for Trump and conservative Americans to live rent-free in his head that can be expected to last through the rest of his pontificate. Victor Davis Hanson notes that Trump has an example from Israel of a highly successful Build the Wall program that has reduced Palestinian terrorist attacks in Israel by 98%. Hoover Institution, Victor Davis Hanson `The Classicist` podcast, "Israel and the US, Parallel Success Stories". The US measure of success will be whether or not after the election, Trump can build a wall like Israel's that lacks holes.
Francis' internal power control superstructure relies on his practical mastery of the sexual-politic that replaced the Vatican II Ostpolitic forbidding any mention of Russia in the Vatican II documents or any Fatima consecrations. Francis has institutionalized the governing mechanism of sexual blackmail that keeps the American Bishops in line. Fr. Paul Mankowski, "What Went Wrong? (And Why)?", 2003 .
The default American Bishop is a "Tame", who will never stand up for the Catholic Church's teachings because protecting their comfortable sinecures is their primary motivation. The cancer of sexual blackmail of former seminarians who might have only once taken an indiscreet sexual action is so pervasive throughout the American Catholic body religious that it is the administrative foundation for the US Catholic Bishops' Conference. In this the American Catholic Bishops are firmly synchronized with Francis' totally populating his apparatchiks with former offenders who owe him their prosperity and freedom from prosecution.
There are a few faithful Bishops who quietly uphold the Church's teachings. "That no-good Texas toilet paper that won't take crap off of anyone" is Tyler TX Bishop Joseph Strickland, but the USCCB will eventually get rid of him.

The American Catholic Bishops firmly toe the immigration line of the Koch Brothers, the US Chamber of Commerce and the Business Roundtable. But the AmChurch Bishops can never quite explain their failure to uphold the interests of low-wage African-Americans who are the primary victims of the Bishops' open-borders policy.
Baloney------their real destination is the US.....where the gravy train is lucrative and endless.
I cant believe European Elites hate Trump so much they will hand EUrope to Islam.
This Pope has been leading the call. He wants this.
You can line up a thousand of the Syrians involved in this, and 99-percent will tell you that they want the ‘pass’ into Germany. I would guess the current community of Syrians in Germany to be near 700,000.
There is no gun pointed at the EU’s head. The EU has the physical ability to defend its borders and deport anyone it chooses to. That it refuses to do so is literally not Erdogan’s fault.
[Le’s keep in mind———all those unwashed slimy Muslim refugees massing in Turkey SAY they want into the E/U.
Baloney———their real destination is the US.....where the gravy train is lucrative and endless. ]
Yeah! Their goal is to own a C-store in the USA, work 18 hours per day seven per week, and swap anything in the store for food stamps. Their restrooms are always out of order too.
