Yep. Did you read the full statement before biasly judging him?
Let's hear your politics. Explain what the pope meant. Is it like priests being able to mary if they want?

If you read what I wrote, I did. The Vatican has immigration laws. That has nothing to do with open borders.
An open border doesn't put you in jail for crossing the border.

Why don't you look it up and it for yourself? That seems to be part of the problem. You don't check things out before judging people.

The Vatican doesn't. They may if you break into a restricted area within their borders though.
The guards who guard the city will put you in jail for breaking imigration laws. So what if the pope doesn't do it himself? He condone it.

You are the one that brought up what the Pope said about building bridges, not me. You should understand what he said before bringing it up.

How would you know? You're not Catholic.

How would you know? You make a wild claim about the Church and I correct it. I'm just telling the truth. You should try it.
Not the church. The catholic church. And it wasn't wild

But they won't stop you for walking across the border and walking around all nonrestrictive areas.
So what if the pope doesn't do it himself? He condone it.
Sure, he condones the Vatican rules about access. He condones the US's a well.

I've talked to Catholics. I heard them defend priest celibacy as you defend the so called open border
I defend priests celibacy, as well. It's not my business. They make a free will choice to be celibate. I defend the Vatican rules, as well, because it's none of my business. It's theirs.

I defend the US's policies, as well. I don't defend Trump's because he violates our Constitutional laws with his policy. He also violates our immigration laws.

You do realize our workforce will be depleted, prices will rise, and tax revenues decreased because of the purging of immigrants, the overwhelming majority honest and hardworking.
I daresay most of them work harder in a week that our uninformed, impulsive, avaricious chief executive works in a whole year. I hope the good ones ride it out till we trade him in for a better model.
Illegal immigrants provide a net negative fiscal impact on goverment budgets and the economy. And its very dangerous for all Americans to have people here undocumented. You want to come to American - then do it the right way.
