The Pope criticized the deportation actions of the Trump governance, labeling them \u200ba \u200b&#8221;disgrace&#8221; and suggesting that impoverished individuals\u200c would ultimately suffer \u2062the consequences of such\u200d policies. Homan, a lifelong Catholic, responded by highlighting the Vatican&#8217;s own <a href=\"https:\/\/www.conservativenewsdaily.net\/breaking-news\/exposing-the-kissinger-report-on-population-control\/\" title=\"Unveiling the &#039;Kissinger Report&#039; on Population Control\">strict\u200d security measures<\/a>, including the walls surrounding \u2062it and the serious \u2062penalties\u200c for illegal entry. He \u200dquestioned why citizens\u2062 should not \u2062have similar protections in the\u2063 U.S. while the Pope maintains security in his \u2063own territory. Homan \u200cemphasized \u2064that enforcing immigration laws is essential for public\u2062 safety and\u2064 <a href=\"https:\/\/www.conservativenewsdaily.net\/breaking-news\/the-rise-in-healthy-people-identifying-as-disabled\/\" title=\"The Rise in Healthy People Identifying as Disabled\">protecting vulnerable individuals<\/a>, arguing that lack of enforcement leads too greater dangers such as\u200d human trafficking and drug overdoses. He urged Pope Francis to \u2064focus \u200con issues within the Catholic Church \u200dbefore criticizing U.S. policies,further noting the Vatican&#8217;s recent increase \u2064in fines and penalties for illegal entry,reinforcing\u2064 his point about\u2064 hypocrisy in the Pope&#8217;s stance.  <\/p>\n<p class=\"readmore\">\n    <button onclick=\"showReadMore()\" id=\"readmorebtn\">Read more&#8230;<\/button>\n<\/p>\n<hr id=\"line\">\n<span id=\"more\"><\/p>\n<p><?xml encoding=\"utf-8\" ?><?xml encoding=\"utf-8\" ?><?xml encoding=\"utf-8\" ?><?xml encoding=\"utf-8\" ?><?xml encoding=\"utf-8\" ?><?xml encoding=\"utf-8\" ?><?xml encoding=\"utf-8\" ?><?xml encoding=\"utf-8\" ?><?xml encoding=\"utf-8\" ?><?xml encoding=\"utf-8\" ?><?xml encoding=\"utf-8\" ?><?xml encoding=\"utf-8\" ?><?xml encoding=\"utf-8\" ?><?xml encoding=\"utf-8\" ?><?xml encoding=\"utf-8\" ?><?xml encoding=\"utf-8\" ?><?xml encoding=\"utf-8\" ?><\/p>\n<section> \t\t\t\t<script>console.log(\"ad slot (AC1)\")<\/script><script>console.log(\"ad slot (IC1)\")<\/script><script>console.log(\"ad slot (IC2)\")<\/script><script>console.log(\"ad slot (IC3)\")<\/script><script>console.log(\"ad slot (IC4)\")<\/script><\/p>\n<p>Border czar Tom Homan voiced his disagreement with Pope Francis over border policy after the pontiff claimed that the Trump administration&rsquo;s agenda of <a href=\"https:\/\/www.conservativenewsdaily.net\/breaking-news\/tucker-on-biden-immigration-agenda-axing-operation-targeting-sex-offenders-point-is-to-punish-you\/\" title=\"Tucker On Biden Immigration Agenda, Axing Operation Targeting Sex Offenders: \u2018Point Is To Punish You\u2019\">deporting illegal aliens<\/a> is a &ldquo;disgrace.&rdquo;<\/p>\n<p>Francis also <a href=\"https:\/\/www.bbc.com\/news\/articles\/c0jnz8q6p32o\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">said that<\/a> &ldquo;poor wretches that don&rsquo;t have anything&rdquo; would &ldquo;foot the bill&rdquo; of deportations.<\/p>\n<p>Homan, who prefaced his remarks to Newsmax by saying he is a lifelong Catholic, pointed out that the Pope&rsquo;s comments failed to acknowledge that the Vatican City has substantial security measures to protect itself from unknown entrants.<\/p>\n<p>&ldquo;They have a wall around the Vatican,&rdquo; Homan said. &ldquo;And if you illegally enter the Vatican, the crime is serious &mdash; you&rsquo;ll be charged with a serious crime, be jailed.&rdquo;<\/p>\n<p>&ldquo;So he can protect the Vatican where he lives, he can build a wall where he lives, but American people are not allowed that?
