Tom Homan has publicly rebuked Pope Francis for his recent comments on U.S. immigration policies. Homan didn’t mince words as he called out what he perceives as hypocrisy in the Pope’s stance on border security. What specific comments did Pope Francis make about U.S. immigration policies?
Clash of Perspectives: Homan vs. Pope Francis
Tom Homan, known for his hardline stance on immigration, has taken issue with Pope Francis’s recent criticism of U.S. border policies. The Pope urged people to reject narratives that discriminate against migrants and refugees, emphasizing the importance of recognizing the equal dignity of every human being.
Homan, however, sees this as an overreach by the pontiff into matters of U.S. national security. He argues that the Pope should focus on addressing issues within the Catholic Church rather than commenting on U.S. border policy.

Vatican’s Own Security Measures Under Scrutiny
In his rebuttal, Homan pointedly refers to the security measures in place at the Vatican. He questions the consistency of the Pope’s stance, given the existence of walls surrounding Vatican City.
Homan stated, “He wants to attack us from securing our border? He’s got a wall around the Vatican, does he not? So he’s got a wall around to protect his people and himself, but we can’t have a wall around the United States?”
JUST NOW: Holy… and I do mean Holy Shlit!!

A Call for Focus on Church Issues
As a lifelong Catholic, Homan’s criticism takes on a personal tone. He suggests that the Pope should prioritize addressing the myriad challenges facing the Catholic Church.
“The Pope ought to fix the Catholic Church; I’m saying this as a lifelong Catholic, baptized Catholic,” Homan remarked. This statement underscores the complex intersection of personal faith, political beliefs, and policy positions that many conservative Catholics navigate.
