I live in CA. believe me they are voting here illegally, I don’t know about other parts of the country but illegals are voting here!!!

Gosh, and you didn't check my FR page to notice that I live in motor-voter land too. Sure there are some that are voting, but not in the numbers they would if they were citizens. They'd qualify for more bennies too, at your expense. So go ahead, vote for Trump and make their day!!!

Are we supposed to assume that is part of a wall around the Vatican?

Trump wants them to come back LEGALLY not rapidly!!! Coming back legally is not a rapid process!!!

I notice too that you conveniently ignored the video I posed that proved you dead wrong about the Donald's little plan. He said he'll "expedite" the process. Guess what kind of handwave that means sirrah? Hmmm?

What the hell difference does it make if he plans to give them citizenship anyway to make them cross the border to apply? Get it through your thick skull: There is no way a guy in the hotel and construction business is going to do without low cost unskilled labor. And once he offers the bait of amnesty to get them to leave and they come back, like hell he's going to hire Americans who can't speak Spanish in that business. IT'S AN AMNESTY FOR ILLEGALS! That' all it is. But you ignore the evidence of his own words because it makes you feel better about getting screwed. Dear God in heaven what fools you people are.

“I’d rather have them here illegally than have them as citizens capable of voting Democrat.”

Or running for president.

Wow... I was going to comment how Nehemiah is praised in the Bible for building a wall, but the Vatican wall proves the point so much further!

Illegal immigration is part of a church growth plan for the Catholic Church. They encourage and promote it at every step via catholic charities.

Huh? Whut?

Let me get this straight.

This Shoot-From-The-Hip Pope, who is rapidly building a reputation for "Engage Mouth Before Engaging Brain" is criticizing ...... of all people! ..........Donald Trump???

Pots & Kettles?

Methinks, Mr. Pope Sir, that you'd do well to reread that Bible verse about: Judge not, lest you be judged, for the measuring stick you apply to others will be the same one applied to you.

The salient point about the Pope's "wall" comment is: ONLY TRUMP WILL BUILD A WALL.

And the Pope knows it. In other words, the Pope knows that Cruz won't build a wall, despite Cruz saying in one or more debates, parroting Trump, that he would build a wall (which Cruz WILL NOT DO, guaranteed.)

Only Trump Will Build A Wall, the Pope Agrees

But Trump, in fact, intends to build a wall, not a bridge. So the pope’s “non-Christian” charge stands.

This is a misleading headline.

Pope Francis started out by saying,

"A person who thinks only about building walls, wherever they may be, and not building bridges, is not Christian."

Asked specifically about Trump, Pope Francis said,

"I say only that "This man is not Christian if he has said things like that," Francis said. "We must see if he said things in that way and in this I give the benefit of the doubt."

I can fault Pope Francis for ambiguity, for equivocation --- and even for insinuation --- but the record shows he did not initiate an attack on Trump. Despite being egged-on by the press, he chose to give Trump "the benefit of the doubt."

In this day and age of the worldwide deceiving left, including much of the media, you have to go find the full quotes of what the popes say in order to discover how they misused his quotes in order to use it to somehow advance their agenda. The dishonesty from these medias has become the norm in these cases so it's best to find the full quotes yourself in order to find out what he really said. I did the same as you and read the full quotes.

That being said, with Mexico's far more restrictive immigration policy and, of course, the wall surrounding the Vatican, I don't understand why he would say these things. The US is far better at building these bridges with nations, than Mexico is towards us.

Both my grandparents escaped a full blown statist Mexico 100 years ago, ten years before the Cristeros War broke out, but I doubt not much has changed there as statism still exists which only produces misery and that is why so many try to come here. The huge problem is the Mexican government but yet we get chided for wanting to build a wall and really no focus on the statism that exists there that causes so many problems for its citizens.

I do understand he gave Trump the benefit of the doubt but it gave the left so much ammo to really use against the Pope and Trump. What Trump said about protecting The Vatican from ISIS if he were president, rang so true with me as a Catholic. He understands The Vatican would be the ultimate prize for ISIS and really the left in this world too as they despise Christianity.

We are witnessing a great evil trying to take over this world and will stop at nothing to get what it wants. I pray for both, Pope Francis and Donald Trump so they do get it right and that people see through the deceptions of the left. I do like how the Pope says to pray for him after every mass, the Pope and all of us needs God's guidance now more than ever.

Oh, look:

1. Encourage ignorant 3rd worlders to not use birth control and over breed;

2. Encourage them to migrate to rich United States;

3. use shame and spiritual deception to force the ignorant Americans into accepting the invasion; and

4. PROFIT!
