'A Disgrace': The Pope Raises Holy Hell Over Trump's Biggest 'Day 1' Promise
HuffPost
Pope Francis put the incoming administration on blast over an expected mass deportation program.
Pope Francis on Sunday spoke out against President-elect Donald Trump’s plan to launch a massive migrant deportation program on his first day in office.
“If it is true, it will be a disgrace, because it makes the poor wretches who have nothing pay the bill for the imbalance,” the pontiff said in an interview with Italian television, according to a CNN translation. “It won’t do. This is not the way to solve things.”
Trump has repeatedly vowed to launch a sweeping deportation program immediately after taking office on Monday.
“On day one, I will launch the largest deportation program in American history to get the criminals out,” he said in October.
He repeated that promise at a pre-inauguration rally on Sunday.
