Trump Should Prosecute Bishops Who Smuggle Illegal Immigrants, and the Vatican for Fomenting That Practice

By The Stream Published on January 21, 2025

The Stream’s John Zmirak appears on The Eric Metaxas Radio Show and explains how U.S. Catholic bishops openly defy U.S. immigration law while profiting from taxpayer money, to the tune of $3 billion in just 15 years. Pope Francis calls for open borders and denounces deportation of anyone for any reason as being like “slavery.” Zmirak calls on Donald Trump to prosecute the U.S. bishops for human trafficking and strip the Vatican of its immunity to sex-abuse lawsuits. “That might save my Church,” he told Metaxas, “from the money-hungry, lavender Mafia that has captured it.”
