Border Czar Tom Homan slammed Pope Francis for his hypocrisy surrounding the issue of securing borders.
Homan made the remarks Tuesday morning outside the White House when asked about the Pope’s recent criticism of President Donald Trump’s border and immigration policies.
“What is built on the basis of force, and not on the truth about the equal dignity of every human being, begins badly and will end badly,” the Pope wrote in decrying U.S. federal immigration laws.
He later added, “I exhort all the faithful of the Catholic Church, and all men and women of good will, not to give in to narratives that discriminate against and cause unnecessary suffering to our migrant and refugee brothers and sisters.”
Homan responded to the Pope’s remarks by saying that he should focus on fixing the Catholic Church and not worry about U.S. border policy.
“The Pope ought to fix the Catholic Church,” he said. “I’m saying this is a lifelong Catholic, baptized Catholic.”
He said that he should “concentrate on his work and leave border enforcement to us.”
“He wants to attack us from securing our border?” Homan continued. “He’s got a wall around the Vatican, does he not? So he’s got a wall around to protect his people and himself, but we can’t have a wall around the United States?”
He added, “So I wish he’d stick to the Catholic Church and fix that and leave border enforcement to us.”
