Is enforcement of immigration laws wrong?

Yes. And the Pope has been quite clear that he supports the US to do the same.

No one has said that it is ok, but, the US doesn't look at them as criminals and those that turn themselves in and ask for asylum become protected by US law, until an immigration judge can listen to their case and decide if they need asylum.
Like Obama did when he was sued by the ACLU multiple times?

I was using it in the same manner that you were, to show your hypocrisy.
Sure. Just like you said the Vatican has open borders but then agreed that they do indeed deport illegals. You dont score any points for the Vatican. You are exactly what i expect from catholicism

Thats not what i read. I read that they have some of the strictest laws in the world. They will fine, imprison and deport you
The Vatican is a small area within Rome. They have laws covering who can stay or where they can go, within the city. Try to enter a restricted area and you can be prosecuted but anyone can enter through the open gates into St. Peter's square without a passport. That is what open borders mean.

The US does not have open borders.

And? Obama deported far many more immigrants than Trump but did it legally. He didn't deport immigrants just because they were immigrants.

So? Thats not an open border. They have immigration laws. When i mentioned it you said they had open borders as if i were wrong. Whats it matter that you can enter that square? If we had a square would you agree to deport these folks for being here illegally? If not why? The Vatican does

He did it legally? Why was he sued by the ACLU if it was legal?

You don't even know what open borders mean.

I'm not try to score any with you. I'm just trying to educate you a little.

Thank you. Jesus loves the Catholic Church.
If you go to jail for breaking immigration laws that's not an open border.

This argument of yours seems like when Catholics say that priests are not required to be celibate but they are. You say the border is open but its not. Thats why I dont like catholicism.

Yes. If the courts told him he needed to change, he did.

Anyone can sue. That doesn't mean much. Trump has been sued hundreds of times. He loses some and wins some.
The truth is that your understanding is bias. You think Obama and the pope can do no wrong. Catholicism is unteachable and they cant teach the Bible correctly either.

Open borders has little to do with that. Open borders allow aliens to come and go as they please, without passports. You can't do that anywhere else.

You can walk across the Vatican's border and enter into Peter's square. You can walk around and no one will border you. You can visit their museums and other buildings that allow public access. That is an open border.

But they have immigration laws everywhere else. Try admitting that

Celibacy is a rule amongst priests but it can be changed, if they wanted to. A person that is married can become ordained but if their souse dies, they can't remarry. It helps if you would learn what you are talking about.
You say the border is open but its not.
Look it up. It's open borders. You don't know what open borders mean. It has nothing to do with walls.
Thats why I dont like catholicism.
That's okay God loves Catholicism.
