Pope mulls crossing U.S.-Mexico border to show solidarity with immigrants
fox news ^ | january 26, 2015

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.

Jesus said: "Render unto Caesar the things that are Caesar's and unto God the things that are God's". Pope Francis supporting people entering a country illegally is in the realm of "Caesar" not God.

It makes me uncomfortable when Pope Francis blurs the line between Church and State.

I hope you are right. Maybe he will walk the statement back in some way. But what about its effect on everyone before that happens? Most people are taking it as sincere, to judge from this thread. And many people hear Part 1 but not the rebuttal or the retraction.

Load all the illegals into the pope-mobile-jet and ship them all out to Vatican City.

Hey, Your Holiness, how about telling the Mexicans to fix the land God gave them instead of encouraging them to break the laws of my country. Pope or no Pope, this guys a fecking idiot.

Please just stay home Francis, don’t encourage this. Perhaps we should start shipping them to the Vatican. So many countries seem to be ok with illegals coming here to live off of us but I bet they wouldn’t stand for it if it were their country being invaded. This has nothing to do with him or Catholicism.

He's the head of a church that is a state.

“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?”

Excellent post!

“Maybe he’ll dress up in drag when he crosses the border to show his solidarity with the LBGTWXYZ or whatever it is, since we all know how persecuted they are in the US...”

That has to be the best idea I’ve heard showing the hypocrisy and illogic.

So, as long as he has the necessary visa and other paperwork, I’m fine with it.

So I guess you are fine with this political stunt that legitimatizes the Mexican hoard invading our country? Are you that stupid?

Hey, I am not the way who is okay with the Pope staging a protest walk across the US-Mexico border to make a political statement. This pope is an enemy of the United States as far as I am concerned.

Sounds like you are a big fan of his..... Are you also a fan of Obama?
