Trump lashes out at “very political” Pope Francis for daring to visit Mexico

Pope Francis has traveled to Mexico where he will spend nearly a week in the the world’s second largest Catholic country and the Republican presidential frontrunner, Donald Trump, is now criticizing the pontiff for daring to reach out to his flock.

The Pope plans to hold a mass at the U.S.-Mexico border next week to call for a more humane approach to immigration.

During an interview with Fox Business’ Stuart Varney on Thursday, Trump went after Pope Francis’ decision to visit Mexico while Trump’s campaign continues to rile supporters’ anti-immigrant anxieties with promises of a giant border wall to keep out Mexicans.

“I don’t think he understands the danger of the open border that we have with Mexico,” Trump told Varney. “I think Mexico got him to do it because they want to keep the border just the way it is. They’re making a fortune, and we’re losing.”

Oddly, the pope must not view Mexicans as drug dealers and rapists. It is not surprising that Trump opposes a "more humane approach to immigration" but Donald seems to oppose a "more humane approach" to just about everything.
