Pope Francis On Tuesday, it issued a massive responsibilities of the Trump administration’s plan for the massive deportation of immigrants, saying that strong removal of people due to immigrant status will rob their inherent dignity and “ends badly.” I emphasized it.
Francis wrote a letter to the American bishop. There, it appeared to criticize Vice President JD Vance’s religious debate in the defense of deportation policies.
US border emperor Tom Homan responds to the Pope, telling him that the Vatican is a walled city-state and that Francis should leave immigration enforcement. Homan, a Catholic, said Francis should focus on the revision of the Catholic Church rather than on US immigration policies.
“He wants to attack us to secure our borders. He has a wall around the Vatican, right?” Homan told reporters. “So he has a wall that protects his people and himself, but we cannot have a wall around America.”

As the first Latin American pope, Francis has long been caring for immigrants and points to biblical orders to call on the nation to welcome, protect, promote and integrate those who have escaped conflict, poverty and climate disasters. He points out that he “welcome strangers.”
Francis and President Donald Trump have been thrustling their heads for a long time Immigration issuesWhen Francis said in 2016 that anyone building a wall to keep immigrants out, including before Trump’s first term, “not Christians.”
In his letter, Francis acknowledged that the government has the right to protect their country and keep their communities safe from criminals, but those who fled due to various difficult circumstances. He said deportation undermines their dignity.
“That being said, deporting people who have left their land due to extreme poverty, anxiety, exploitation, persecution, or severe deterioration of the environment often occurs in many men and their families. It’s about undermining your dignity, and place them in a state of certain vulnerability and vulnerability,” he wrote.
Referring to the Book of Exodus in the Bible and in the experience of Jesus Christ, Francis emphasized his right to seek shelter and security in other lands, calling the Trump administration’s deportation plan a “major crisis.”
Anyone who is educated in Christianity “will fail to make critical judgments and does not agree to measures that implicitly or explicitly identify the illegal status of some immigrants in crime. You can’t do it.”
“What is built on power rather than truth about equal dignity for all humans will begin and end badly,” he continued.

A Catholic convert, Vance defended the regime’s plan of deportation by citing the concept of medieval Catholic theology known in Latin as “Old Amoris.” fellow citizens and finally other local people.
But Francis tried to check the facts. Vance’s Understanding of concept.
“Christian love is not a concentric expansion of interest that extends to some extent to other people and groups,” Francis wrote in his letter. “The true Ordo Amoris who must be promoted is meditating constantly in the parable of the “good Samaritan” – by meditating on love that builds open fraternity to all without exception, It’s something they discovered. ”
