ROME — In preparation for World Refugee Day, Pope Francis declared Wednesday that all of us are “required” to welcome anyone who knocks on our door.
World Refugee Day, an annual United Nations commemoration celebrated on June 20, should be “an occasion to turn an attentive and fraternal gaze to all those who are compelled to flee their homes in search of peace and security,” the pontiff told the crowd gathered in Saint Peter’s Square for his weekly general audience.
“We are all required to welcome, promote, accompany, and integrate those who knock on our doors,” the pope contended.

The Walls only partially surround the Vatican, there is a huge opening to the Basilica courtyard where hundreds of thousands at a time can and do fit.

“We are all required to welcome, promote, accompany, and integrate those who knock on our doors,” the pope contended.1. No, we are not.
2. They don't "knock on our doors." Rather, they crawl across our border under cover of night, or hidden in the false bottoms of shipping containers, etc.
3. Many do not want and have absolutely no intention of "integrating."
Merely by violating our borders, they are breaking our laws. They should apply for entrance using the existing legal procedures. They should not attempt to "cut in line" ahead of the millions of other persons employing legal means to apply for entrance.

The Pope is wrong, it is not our duty or responsibility to take and care for all comers. These people mostly owe no allegiance to the USA and in fact have flags from their own countries. They disregard our laws. They abuse our people. They rip off our system at all levels. They are here because we give them a ton of benefits - great value for no cost. What could be better??
My hope is that Trump declares a state of emergency at both north and south borders and uses the military to seal them while completing the wall and then beefs up the Border Patrol to keep it sealed. Those who have valid passports and visas would be an exception.

its a purposeful fart in academia's face and the libtard college english teacher who ruined my 4.0 cuz i had the nerve to write an assay of anita hills assertion that a pubic hair on a soda can was clarence thomas’s idea of how to seduce a woman and how only libtards, liars, academics and english teachers could believe that.
and yea , my run on sentence was purely to fart in your face.

Practice what you preach and invite 1,000s to live at the Vatican Francis. Free of charge of course Exactly. He should be asked daily exactly how many of these barbarians he has let into the wing of the vatican that he lives in.
