USCCB Claims Trafficking Illegal Aliens Is ‘Work of Mercy’

[Michie]

The U.S. Conference of Catholic Bishops (USCCB) on Sunday argued that its long-standing refugee program is a “work of mercy” after Vice President JD Vance criticized the bishops’ positions on immigration issues.

Vance had made the remarks during an interview on Sunday with Margaret Brennan on CBS News’ “Face the Nation.”

Brennan had asked Vance, who is Catholic, about the USCCB’s criticism last week of the Trump administration’s various directives on immigration, specifically the government’s rescinding of the policy that restricted immigration arrests at “sensitive locations” such as churches.

Vance responded that “as a practicing Catholic” he was “heartbroken” by the bishops’ criticisms.

We should care about immigrants and refugees, but we have laws for a reason.

None of what I said, should contradict Catholicism?

I will continue to keep all of the American Bishops, priests, deacons, and religious in my prayers. May God add to their number. I'm just being nice.
