President Donald Trump’s border czar Tom Homan responded to Pope Francis’ criticism over migrant deportation policies in the US. Homan, speaking from the White House, emphasized the importance of border enforcement and suggested that the Pope should focus on matters within the Catholic Church.
Homan pointed out the irony of the Pope's criticism by highlighting the presence of a wall around the Vatican. This response comes after Pope Francis expressed strong disapproval of the Trump administration's deportation practices in a letter to US bishops.
In his letter, the Pope raised concerns about the dignity of individuals being compromised by deportation solely based on their undocumented status. He warned that such actions could have negative consequences and urged for a more humane approach towards migrants.
The exchange between Homan and the Pope underscores the ongoing debate surrounding immigration policies in the US and the ethical considerations involved in border enforcement. While the Trump administration continues to prioritize border security, critics like Pope Francis advocate for a more compassionate treatment of migrants.
