Tom Homan Has the Perfect Response for Catholic Leaders Complaining About Immigration Enforcement

Several Catholic leaders, including Pope Leo XIV, have been very critical of President Trump's immigration enforcement policies. Back in January of last year, it was revealed that the United States Conference of Catholic Bishops (USCCB) and other Catholic organizations were getting hundreds of millions from the government to "resettle" immigrants in America. The Trump administration turned off that spigot, and the criticisms followed.

But the Vatican, which has some of the strictest immigration laws imaginable, and the Swiss Guard to help enforce them, has no idea what the problems are like on the ground at the U.S. border. Tom Homan, a Catholic who has spent decades working on immigration, does.

And he's got a message for Pope Leo and others: stay out of the issue.

The Vatican has a lot of problems of their own.

The duties of a Pope are to lead the Catholic Church, in teaching and organizationally. Leo and Francis are and were more interested in geopolitics and quasi-Marxian social ideology. Leo (formerly Cardinal Robert Prevost) was anti-Trump before being elected Pope, and like so many Hate-Trumpers, cannot see past that. Leo XIV will be less bad for the Catholic Church than was Leo X, but the current Leo is neglecting his duties.

It's really annoying when outsiders get involved in our affairs. :thatsright: :rant:
Life is tough and it’s even tougher when you’re stupid

Basking in the glow of my white Privilege and toxic masculinity while I water the Begonias with liberal tears!

I will give up my guns when the liberals give up their illegal aliens

"I'm not going to speak for the President, I'm speaking for myself, a lifelong Catholic," Homan said. "I would say, stay out of immigration. They don't know what they're talking about."

"Because if they wore my shoes for 40 years, and talked to a nine-year-old girl that got raped multiple times, or stood in the back of a tractor-trailer with 19 dead aliens at my feet including a five-year-old boy that baked to death, if they understood the atrocities that happen on the open border, I think their opinion would change," Homan continued.

"And I welcome a discussion with any of them, because they don't understand illegal immigration is not a victimless crime. Where President Trump had the most secure border in the lifetime of this nation, right now, lives are being saved. He's saving thousands of lives a year because he has a secure border," Homan said. "Human traffickers are out of business, right? The cartels are going bankrupt because of that secure border. I wish they'd understand that. Because if they did, I think they'd have a different opinion."

Sadly, I do not think many Catholic "leaders" would change their minds. They're too infused with leftist political ideology.

I'm not a Catholic, but I have and do read the Scriptures. Paul set out the purpose of Christian leaders and ministries:

Quote
... to equip the saints for the work of ministry, for building up the body of Christ, ... (Ephesians 4:12)

The list of ministries that precede verse 12 (I don't rip and twist verses out of context!) is inclusive, from evangelists who bring people to faith in Jesus to the pastors, teachers and others who help believers mature, helping some become future leaders.

Lecturing national/imperial leaders about geopolitics is not their function, whether the monstrous Nero, the corrupt governors of Judea, or the Presidents, Prime Ministers, etc. of modern nations. Christian leaders' "lane", ministering to believers, is actually far greater than Presidents'.
