BORDER CZAR Homan DESTROYS Pope Leo XIV: 'Doesn't Understand Illegal Migration'

Border Czar Tom Homan delivered a devastating blow to Pope Leo XIV's criticism of President Trump's immigration policies, schooling the pontiff on the life-saving reality of secure borders during a fiery exchange that's sending shockwaves through the globalist establishment.

The Trump administration's top immigration enforcer didn't mince words when addressing the Pope's latest attempt to undermine America's sovereignty, making it crystal clear that the Vatican's leader simply doesn't grasp the deadly consequences of open-border policies.

"The Pope doesn't understand what's happening with illegal migration," Homan stated firmly, cutting through the religious leader's virtue-signaling rhetoric with hard facts. "President Trump's border policies are saving the lives of thousands of migrants each year."

FACTS vs. FEELINGS

While Pope Leo XIV continues to push the same tired globalist talking points about "compassion" and "welcoming the stranger," Homan is dealing with the brutal reality on the ground. The border chief knows firsthand how the previous administration's weak policies led to unprecedented human trafficking, drug smuggling, and migrant deaths in the desert.

Under Trump's restored border security measures, the dangerous journey that kills thousands of desperate migrants has become far less attractive to those considering the treacherous trek north. But apparently, saving actual lives doesn't matter to the Vatican when there's a political narrative to push.

"We're seeing dramatic reductions in border crossings, which means fewer people dying in the desert, fewer children being trafficked, and fewer families being exploited by cartels," a senior Border Patrol official confirmed.

This isn't the first time Pope Leo XIV has inserted himself into American politics, consistently siding with the globalist agenda over common-sense policies that actually protect vulnerable people. The pontiff seems more concerned with attacking President Trump than addressing the real humanitarian crisis caused by encouraging mass illegal migration.

Homan's response perfectly captures what millions of Americans are thinking: maybe the Pope should focus on running the Catholic Church instead of lecturing the greatest nation on Earth about border security. After all, which leader is actually reducing human suffering – the one securing the border or the one encouraging dangerous illegal crossings?

Homan gets it. National sovereignty matters and we can't help anyone if we don't secure our own country first.

About time someone stood up to the virtue signaling!

I'd love to see the Pope deal with what our border communities face every single day. Easy to be charitable with other people's tax dollars.

Homan is 100% correct here. I live 20 miles from the border and see the chaos firsthand - drugs, human trafficking, overwhelmed communities. The Pope needs to visit McAllen or El Paso before lecturing us.

Finally someone with the backbone to tell it like it is! The Vatican sits behind walls while telling Americans we can't secure our own border.

Exactly right! Easy to preach open borders when you live in a literal fortress.

The Pope should focus on spiritual matters and stay out of American immigration policy. We have laws for a reason!

Separation works both ways - government out of religion AND religion out of government policy.

Does the Pope understand the strain on our schools, hospitals, and social services? My county can barely keep up with the influx.

As someone who came here LEGALLY and waited 8 years for citizenship, this hits home. There's a right way and a wrong way to enter this country.

Thank you for doing it the right way! That's exactly the point Homan is making.
