Rights of migrants trump national security concerns: Pope
2017-08-22
How fortunate he has no regiments to command.
[DAWN] Pope Francis urged countries on Monday to greatly improve their welcome to migrants colonists and stop any collective expulsions, saying migrants colonists' dignity and right to protection trumps national security concerns.

Francis' politically pointed message was made in view of the Catholic Church's 2018 World Refugee Day, celebrated January 14. It comes amid mounting anti-immigrant sentiment in Europe following waves of migrant arrivals and terror attacks.

In the message, Francis demanded governments welcome, protect, promote and integrate migrants colonists, saying Jesus' message of love is rooted in welcoming the "rejected strangers of every age."

He demanded an increased and simplified process of granting humanitarian and temporary visas and rejected arbitrary and collective expulsions as "unsuitable."

#2  They did that gig in Rome before with the Goths. Didn't work out well for Europe or the church for a long time. Something, something, called the Dark Ages.
