I find it a bit hypocritical of the Pope to criticize Trump as not being a Christian because of his comments about building a wall, among other things. Yet the Vatican is surrounded by a tall wall last time I checked. Just where does the Pope stand on illegal immigration?
 
You can Google the Pope’s stance on immigration. Pretty easy to do. Why come here to ask about something you can research for yourself?
But, it sounds like you’ve already made up your mind about the issue.

That would only be hypocritical if the Vatican walls were to keep our immigrants. When I was staying in Rome, I daily walked from Italy into the Vatican through the walls without breaking stride. Study the historical reasons the Vatican has walls-they’re medieval and Renaissance defensive fortifications. While I don’t agree with Trump’s position on immigration, this argument is a bit of a non sequitur.

Considering that Pope Francis takes a lot of risks already when he mingles with the crowds and that John Paul II was nearly assassinated it is hypocritical to accuse him of hypocrisy. I bet if you were in his position you would be barricaded in your room with a gun under your pillow, armed police with dogs stationed around the house and a helicopter circling overhead!
 
I have no problem with the wall idea, but I also think it is impractical. I work with a lot of Hispanics. All of them want a cold stop to illegal immigration.
