The U.S.-Mexico border may someday see a high-profile crosser – Pope Francis.
The intrepid pontiff raised the possibility that among his future trips could be entering the U.S. border from Mexico.
The pope, who made the comment while flying back recently from the Philippines, said he would do it to show solidarity with immigrants, according to the Latin Post.
"To enter the U.S. from the Mexico border would be a beautiful sign of brotherhood and help for immigrants," the pope said, according to the Post and other outlets.
There are some logistical factors, however, that the pope indicated he would have to address. "To go to Mexico without visiting the Virgin (of Guadalupe) would be a drama. A war would break out, and there is no time," Francis quipped.

I love my Pope but please stay away from areas of concern where people get killed, are fugitives and law breakers....
Hey, pope, why don’t you take some of the billions donated to the Catholic church and use it to enrich the lives of illegal aliens in their OWN COUNTRY?
Arrest him. Is this the first commie Pope. Not impressed.
This is why we need a fence!
He should try “immigrating” the other direction and see what happens.
It is quite possible the last authentic pope was around mid-20th century.
As long as he was heading SOUTH I wouldn’t care...
Damned anti American low life. Why does he hate normal Americans?
They are not immigrants! They are invaders sneaking across that border instead of coming in through proper channels. If you feel that strongly, how about setting up some refugees camps inside the walls of the Vatican?
Pope Francis is to the Catholic Church what Rand Paul is to the Republican Party. They're both adrift all over the place, and it's impossible to guess where they'll land next!
As a devout ,practicing Roman Catholic I hope they taser him. All laughs aside.
If he visits California, they’ll give him a driver’s license.
Theyre already catholic - why not welcome them all to the Vatican State?
FREAKING SOCIALIST.
“Pope” Frank seems to have it in for America, doesn’t he? But then... most liberation theologists like him do.
Obama and Holder will outfit him with an AK-47 and 500 rounds of ammo.

Yo, Francis, you’re better off sticking strictly to the Bible.
Throw him in jail if he tries.
Guess if given enough ‘lead time’, the little venture could attract 10-20 million more Mexicans or whoever to stroll over the border under the ‘guardianship’ of the Pope.
I am no longer a practicing Catholic but I have been holding my thoughts of this present Pope, out of respect if nothing else.
He is starting to get into BO territory when it comes to tolerance - as far as I am concerned.
Do the pope ever mention scripture? He seems to just another politician.
