Trump's Catholic Border Czar Melts Down at His Own Church [View all]

Tom Homan claims that the Catholic Church is wrong about immigration.

Border Czar Tom Homan has lashed out at the leaders of his own religion, claiming it is the Catholic Church—and not the Trump administration—which is wrong on immigration.

Homan slammed the historic institution for its condemnation of U.S. policy, arguing that the church’s interpretation of Christian doctrine fails to comprehend the benevolence of President Donald Trump’s tactics.

“The Catholic Church is wrong,” Homan said. “I’m sorry, I’m a lifelong Catholic, I’m saying it as, not only a Border Czar, I’ll say it as a Catholic.”

“We’re going to enforce the law and by doing that we’re saving a lot of lives,” the 63-year-old added. “Secure borders save lives.”

Homan was responding to a “special message” on immigration from the United States Conference of Catholic Bishops.
