The Catholic Church’s new Pope has publicly described migration as a “huge problem” even as he also urges Christians to treat migrants with respect.
“It’s a huge problem, and it’s a problem worldwide, not only in this country. There’s got to be a way both to solve the problem, but also treat people with respect,” then-Cardinal Robert Prevost preached in a Catholic Mass, according to an undated video:

There is a way to fix the problem, Pope. Stop letting illegals in and the ones that are there should be sent home. Problem solved.

This Pope is correct where his predecessor was wrong. 1) Find a way to control migration legally, and 2) Treat all with love and respect.

How about the church stops taking tax dollars to herd people around the planet like cattle?

Try treating the citizens and the laws of other countries with respect. Stop taking money to assist illegal immigration. That would be a good start. Then, hold the political lectures. They are not wanted.

When people break into my home I promise to treat them with respect. I'll put a sheet over their heads after I shoot them.

So he doesn’t differentiate between legal and illegal immigration?

Hey Pope, there are Migrants that migrate LEGALLY and Illegal Aliens that DO NOT. This is not in your liturgy but anyone with a working brain can figure it out in seconds!

We'll still deport all illegal aliens, but with respect.

Two things.... First, the Pope would do well to re-read the entirety of the Catechism dealing with immigrants. "Social Justice" oriented Catholics tend to focus on the first few paragraphs and overlook the final word on the matter, which says that immigrants must obey all of the laws of the countries into which they seek refuge. Pope Francis never took this on directly, and I do not expect Leo XIV to be any different... because when the first thing such "refugees" do is cross the border illegally, they're law-breakers on entry to the country of refuge.
Second: I would be very interested in hearing the results of an investigation that might connect any of this former Cardinal's activities in Peru to USAID or any other entity (NGO) involuntarily supported by US taxpayers. Follow the money...

I hope, unlike his predecessor, this Pope holds the governments of the countries of origin responsible for their citizens wanting to migrate.

This so-called mass migration is not spontaneous. This is part of the ‘Great Reset’ devised by bored, elitist, self-loathing, open-border types. These are planned and organized mass movements of people from 3d world areas to 1st world countries using proxy NGOs for executing the dirty work and funded ironically by taxpayers. DOGE revealed the depth and complexity of that scam at USAID.

I think Pope Leo is going to be a mixed bag. From what I’ve read so far, he seems much more intelligent than Francis, who frequently put his foot in his mouth, confusing politics with Church doctrine. Hopefully, Pope Leo is smart enough to grasp the complexities of unfettered immigration, and that there are victims on all sides of this issue. I always had to chuckle at those (mostly on the left) who thought Francis invented the idea of Corporal Acts of Mercy and compassion for your fellow human beings, which have been an integral part of Catholic teaching and its mission in the world for millennia. I will wait and see who Pope Leo is and hope he is more of a leader. These times call for a warrior pope, along the lines of John Paul II. Maybe he will surprise us.

One way to end the problem is to stop CATHOLIC NGO’S and similar organizations funding this illegal traffic of people. What a hypocrite!!

We know it's a problem.
And we also know talk has done nothing to solve it.

For Catholics reading the tea leaves, the beginning of Leo XIV is very auspicious. The site Father Z reports that he will live in tha Apostolic Palace, not in the Santa Marta Hotel like Humble Francis. He wore the traditional stole, the small red cape, and a golden pectoral cross, unlike Humble Francis. He also signed a visitors book at a Marian church as Leo PP XIV, Francis never signed PP because it means Pater Patrem or Father of Fathers. These are all positive actions.

Prevost is just being kinda stealthy now that he is Pope.
Prior to this he has supported open borders and mass invasion of America by third worlders.
Prevost is Peruvian by choice, American only by accident of birth. He is NOT an "American Pope".
I'll be pleased, though , should he by some miracle prove me wrong.
