Pope Francis calls it ‘sheer madness’ to leave migrants at the southern border

Pope Francis expressed his support for migrants crossing into the United States along the southern border, arguing each migrant’s case should be considered in a humane manner.

Francis shared his thoughts on the southern border when he was asked about the state of Texas and its attempt to shut down a Catholic charity providing aid to migrants along the southern border. The charity the interviewer was referring to was Annunciation House, a nongovernmental organization that Texas Attorney General Ken Paxton had accused of facilitating illegal immigration in a February lawsuit.
