Homan: Catholic Church should stay out of immigration

White House border czar Tom Homan criticized the Catholic Church on Tuesday, in the aftermath of President Trump’s criticism of Pope Leo XIV, the first American-born pontiff, on social media.

“I love the Catholic Church,” Homan told reporters. “I just wish they ‘d stick to fixing the church because there’s issues — I know because I’m a member — instead of politics.”

Homan specifically defended Trump administration policies cracking down on immigration, saying with “97 percent less people coming,” less woman are being raped, less people are dying from the journey and less people are being sent back.

“I wish they’d sit down with me and hear my experiences over the last 40 years and maybe they’d understand why a secure border saves lives, a secure border is the most human thing this country can do,” he said.

“I wish they’d stay out of immigration because they don’t know what they’re talking about,” added Homan, one of several Catholics, along with Vice President Vance, first lady Melania Trump and Secretary of State........
