Why doesn’t Francis lead the way by telling his churches in America to start paying taxes?

Why is it compassion to always let these people into my home? I would think they would prefer to stay in their home.

We don’t need advise from a communist foreigner on how to conduct foreign policy. Maybe if he ran a real country he would understand.

Good thing there are no Jihadis coming with the "immigrants" from "Syria". Just look at all the mothers, children and old people we could be saving!

I didn't watch. I was writing my Congressman to see if Joel Osteen or James Dobson could come speak to a joint session of Congress and tie the traffic up for 4 days with protestants flooding the streets. I'm waitng for his answer But wait!! That would violate "Church and State"!!

I believe this is a perfect example of where the idea of separation of church and state came from. The pope shouldn’t be in the chambers....period!

I listened to the entire speech and didn’t hear a single word about abortion or gay ‘marriage’. What speech was this reporter listening to?

This mere mortal, the man they call pope, should go back to the Vatican and ensconce himself in his air-conditioned papal residence and quit spewing his liberal crap upon the American citizens. He might even consider sticking to religion and leave politics to the multitudes of crappy politicians already spreading liberal malarkey.

Well, Pope Francis, once the Jihadis establish a European caliphate, I am sure that they’ll keep you around.

Oh swell just what we needed, another foreigner with a thick accent visits America to wag his Marxist finger at us dumbass Americans.

Hey Dope, we already have someone droning on and on about how badly we suck. His name is Barack Obama.

Listen, Mr. Dope: Most of us decided hundreds of years ago we don’t answer to Catholic Popes. You’re opinion carries no weight with most of us. So thanks for dropping by and all and don’t let the door hit ya.......

I listen to God and live by His Holy Word, not the pope especially when he is too liberal to say that abortion and homosexuality is SIN in the Eyes of god. No thanks.

We Americans do show compassion. Encouraging our neighbors to use the proper legal channels to enter America, just as our forbearers did with pride and honor, teaches them one of the most important lessons about becoming an American. First, we play by the rules and obey the Law.

Were we not to discourage illegal entry and occupation, we would be condoning, and aiding and abbetting by willful comission, the turning of these otherwise good people into criminals as their first act on American soil.

That would be the least compassionate thing we could do.

US Conference of Catholic Bishops gets a LOT of money from the government to help resettle refugees . It should NOT be a surprise that he wants masses of refugees to come into this country .

Wake up America it is YOU who are going to pay for this stupidity and the monetary cost is the least of it .
