Pope Francis Will Stand With Migrants at U.S. Border Dudley Althaus And José de Córdoba Feb. 9, 2016 8:53 p.m. ET
MEXICO CITY—Pope Francis arrives in Mexico on Friday for a six-day visit that will end with a highly symbolic and potentially controversial act: the pontiff taking a stand on the fortified U.S. border to show solidarity with the migrants trying to cross it.
The pope’s gesture comes at the height of a rancorous U.S. political season in which immigration has become a hot-button issue.
Two leading candidates for the Republican nomination, Donald Trump and Ted Cruz, have vowed to build a wall along the nearly 2,000 miles of the U.S.-Mexican border. Mr. Trump has said he would forcibly deport up to 11 million illegal migrants from the U.S.
The pope will hold a cross-border Mass in Ciudad Juárez on Feb. 17 just 90 yards from the U.S. frontier. Some 200,000 people are expected to attend on the Mexican side and an additional 50,000 across the Rio Grande in Texas.

Preferably south of the border where he belongs.
dont let the pope in either..lol
That’s right.
What a vile, evil man he is. Disgusting.
Go back to your Vatican City and TEAR DOWN THOSE WALLS!
what a hypocrite
We are a sovereign nation-—and this anti-pope’s disregard for Rule of Law is disgusting.
He is also ignoring the evil, vile, socialistic nation of Mexico, filled with cartels and rapers of children and the satanic “Liberation Theology”—the pure Marxist nature of the Catholic Church which was taken over by the homomafia....and he is facilitating the pedophiles—ignoring the TRUE evil right inside the Vatican. (Fr. Oko”s Report on Homoheresy). He should clean out the Smoke of Satan that entered the Vatican decades ago before the Catholic Church implodes.
I hope so! This guy... bad news.
Where will the worlds trash go once the last western republic has been third worlditized? Why exactly do we have some obligation to allow the entire population of the world move here? What ever happened to the two dollars a day?
Fortified my posterior. I'm not sure which is the bigger fraud. Pope Frankie or the WSJ.
In my wildest fantasy, Frankie tries to sneak a flock of his sheep across the border, gets arrested, jailed and deported back to the Vatican after chilling in stir for about three months.
I'm for that. Cromwell, too.
For that matter, Popes come and go. They won't preach error. But as for what they have for breakfast and what they think of politics? Well, both history and theology demonstrate amply what St. Peter showed us--that they're only men. But that didn't change Our Lord's mind. He didn't say, "You denied me three times, Simon. You obviously can't run a church. You're fired."
What He said was, "Feed my sheep."
They're only men. It's not a scandal. Francis is a flawed instrument, but I am doubly so. The scandal of man's sin and redemption is the glory we're stuck with.
It is for this one.
Will he stand with the central americans attempting to cross mehico’s southern border? Given what mexico does to those folks?
This ain’t no Pope.
Migrants ? well — or not so much.
But INVADERS — attack !
Oh, please, Francis hates the Church even more than you do. This is all about his UN secularist agenda. He’s the Antichrist or, at the very least, the False Prophet. He’s going to Mexico to strip away what little it has left of Christianity.
Jeeze. The Pope needs to keep his nose out of this country’s business. Stay in Mexico, Pope, and DRINK THE WATER. That’ll fix you right up.
Must be hard for Catholics to like this pope
It is not possible save for the few mindless ones who line up fot the Bernie, Hillary Socialist cabal. I know this one can not like or wish the fraud well.
Let’s see him pull this stunt at one of the cartels’ compounds.
Time for the RC church to lose it’s tax-free status. They’re dabbling in politics too much.
Migrants? NO! Illegal border crossers.
