Staff ReportsTrump’s immigration policies continue to stir the pot, primarily focusing on sealing the borders and effectively deporting unauthorized immigrants already living in the United States. The latest executive order has drawn the ire of progressive locales and prompted the U.S. Conference of Catholic Bishops to voice their disapproval, positioning themselves as champions of the undocumented. Meanwhile, the Pope deemed the president’s immigration stance a disaster, implying that it could tarnish Trump’s Christian credentials. One might argue that such alarmist reactions underscore a broader agenda that seems more concerned with virtue signaling than actual humanitarianism.
NEW: Border Czar Tom Homan responds to Catholic outcry over Trump’s deportation operation, calls out the Pope for living behind massive 30 foot walls.

In an unexpected twist, Trump’s Border Czar, Tom Homan, took a bold jab at the Pope, highlighting the stark contrast between the Vatican’s stringent stance on border control and the U.S. response to illegal immigration. Homan pointed out that while the Pope maintains a fortress around the Vatican and imposes serious consequences for illegal entries, he criticizes the U.S. for wanting to enforce similar measures. This inconsistency raises an eyebrow: if the Vatican can impose a no-nonsense approach to immigration, then is it unreasonable for Americans to expect the same?
Vice President JD Vance didn’t shy away from the heated immigration debate during a recent appearance on Meet the Press. Addressing the USCCB’s criticisms of Trump’s executive orders—which include allowing Immigration and Customs Enforcement (ICE) to operate in churches and schools—Vance emphasized that public safety must come first, regardless of immigration status. His remarks reflect a growing frustration with the Catholic bishops, who are apparently more concerned about their financial gain than the welfare of American citizens. After all, with over $100 million flowing into their coffers to assist with the resettlement of undocumented immigrants, one has to question whether their actual concerns are rooted in charity or self-preservation.
The Vice President’s deep dive into the funding of organizations like Catholic Charities revealed a troubling trend: these entities benefit financially from the influx of illegal immigrants. This raises eyebrows about their motivations when they publicly oppose immigration enforcement. After all, if they were to solve the issue of illegal immigration, would they not also jeopardize their funding and jobs? The reality is that many large charities thrive on the existence of the problems they claim to address. In simple terms, their political activism might not stem from genuine altruism but rather from a vested interest in the status quo.
If Vance’s analysis is accurate, then the push from the USCCB and their counterparts should be viewed through a lens of self-interest rather than moral obligation. Just as with secular organizations, when charities rely heavily on government funding, their operational survival hinges on sustaining the very issues they are meant to remedy. So, as Trump continues to push for tougher border policies, it’s crucial to recognize that not everyone advocating for open borders is doing so out of goodwill. Some may simply be protecting their financial bottom lines, highlighting a significant disconnect between the interests of American citizens and the priorities of certain religious organizations.
