"Based on the outcry that followed Francis’s letter, you’d be forgiven for thinking it marked a dramatic departure from the views of his predecessors. It didn’t. “To welcome” the undocumented migrant “and to show him solidarity is a duty of hospitality and fidelity to Christian identity itself,” Pope John Paul II said in 1995. His successor, Pope Benedict XVI, remarked that immigrants and native-born people alike “have the same right to enjoy the goods of the earth whose destination is universal, as the social doctrine of the Church teaches.” In 2010, he selected “one human family” as the theme for the World Day of Migrants and Refugees."

The vast majority of undocumented immigrants are law abiding and filling much needed jobs in many industries...back in late 2023 the Senate passed a Border Security and Immigration Bill that provided long term funding for ALL issues...including fentanyl trafficking. Trump is doing NONE of that with his "Mass Deportations"...we will be WORSE off now than we would have been had he not killed that Senate Bill, since there is no funding for all the corrections that are STILL needed.
DJT is all 'Smoke and Mirrors' to MAGA voters who can't do any "Critical Thinking", while he does his Master's bidding by sowing chaos throughout the nation.
