Catholic Bishop Says Country Has Right to Defend Borders but Deportations Too Blunt
Dave Rubin Report
Trump Vs. Pope Leo, the Real Threat of Ai & Fraying Social Fabric | Bishop Robert Barron
What was said
"Country has a right to defend its borders. I mean, so I don't subscribe to open border policy. That's against Catholic teaching. At the same time, whatever enforcement we do must be done humanely. Going after all people who are in the country in undocumented status through ICE deportations, I would suggest that's too blunt an instrument."
Bishop Barron delineated Catholic teaching on immigration amid Minnesota ICE raids, affirming a nation's right to secure borders and enforce laws while opposing open borders as contrary to Church doctrine. However, he argued mass ICE deportations are too blunt and urged targeting criminals while seeking political solutions for undocumented immigrants, reflecting his pastoral experience with affected communities.
