Out of ideology and Federal dollars, the Church in the US has helped to facilitate the human traffickers who, for large fees, get massive numbers of illegal aliens across our borders, often engaging in brutal exploitation of the aliens along the way. There is nothing Catholic about this betrayal of our laws, ethics and common sense.

Plus, those mitred idiots don’t know the Bible from a hole in the ground.The “least ones” of Matthew 25 are poor needy Christians (as everyone understood for the first one thousand eight hundred years of church history.) When are the bishops going to stop inflicting their Scriptural illiteracy on the country?
Everyone on my wife’s side of the family in the United States is an immigrant – a LEGAL immigrant. We even rescued her niece who was a victim of human trafficking and eventually arranged for her green card so that she became a LEGAL immigrant. Today she owns her own business and is a naturalized US citizen. So to Pope Francis and all the Bishops and Priests of the Vatican and the USCCB, I say, “Frack you!,” and I give you all the submarine sailor salute of disgust and loathing. You have NO idea what it takes to welcome an immigrant into your home, deal with all the real life human problems victimizing that person, and wade through all the government bureaucracy to fix everything, not to mention the tens of thousands of dollars spent in the process. I absolutely despise the Novus Ordo post-Vatican II Institutional Church.
What I find amusing is Trump plans to deport illegal immigrants back to their homeland.
Not send them to the gulags.
So the fear being peddled is slightly disproportionate to what he is “actually” planning to do.
The Iowa bishops are a pathetic lot. I recall with sadness their total rollover from day one of the Covid insanity, in which they immediately closed every church statewide and remained that way for months. Grifters in shepherd’s clothing, at best.
I’ve been to the Vatican. It’s pretty posh by our pedestrian standards. Rome is full of culture and art. Much nicer than my neck of the woods. Maybe if I declared myself a liberal, fleeing Trump, maybe they’ll take me in and give me “three hots and a cot.”
There are simpler ways to do a lot of this beyond mass deportation and might be accomplished during this 2 year period with nominal control of Congress.
Pass legislation that entry without legal admission as a certain class of immigrant or visitor (illegal entry) is a permanent bar to US citizenship – no exceptions, no workarounds. If you’re not a citizen you can’t vote AND it makes it much harder to bring family after you. This would motivate many to leave on their own, at no expense or effort. The long term effects are better than building a wall (though I do like the wall)
Then we actually have more resources to look for the bad folks who also happen to be here illegally, or aren’t citizens, and send them packing. If they’re not accepted by their own country, then we incarcerate them separate from the general prison population to avoid mutual corruption.
The best thing Trump could do for Catholic Social Services: “You’re Fired” (from the federal trough).
