In a 60 Minutes interview Sunday, Pope Francis said countries must allow migrants to be 'received' before determining how to 'deal with them.'
by RAY LEWIS | The National DeskFILE - Pope Francis attends his weekly general audience in the Pope Paul VI hall at the Vatican, Wednesday, Aug. 23, 2023. The pope argued countries should allow migrants to cross their borders and later decide whether they can stay.
Earlier this year, President Joe Biden urged Congress to advance legislation aimed at addressing the border’s issues, claiming it would allow him to “shut down” entry points until they were “back under control.” However, Pope Francis said Sunday migration helps advance a nation. The pope also argued Texas Attorney General Ken Paxton’s attempts to shut down a nonprofit providing migrants shelter constitute “sheer madness.” Paxton sued Annunciation House earlier this month for its perceived “systemic criminal conduct” of sheltering migrants.“There are so many Pontius Pilates on the loose out there who see what is happening – the wars, the injustice, the crimes ... That is what happens when the heart hardens and becomes indifferent,” Pope Francis said.
