USCCB President Paul Coakley appears on CBS\u2019s Face the Nation<\/em> to criticize President Trump\u2019s immigration enforcement<\/figcaption><\/figure>\n

The leadership of the U.S. Catholic Church is once again taking aim at President Trump\u2019s immigration enforcement agenda, this time accusing the administration of \u201cspreading fear\u201d across immigrant communities as federal authorities ramp up deportations and interior enforcement.<\/p>\n

Paul Coakley<\/span><\/span>, the president of the U.S. Conference of Catholic Bishops<\/span><\/span> (USCCB), made the remarks Sunday during an appearance on CBS News\u2019 Face the Nation<\/span><\/span> with host Margaret Brennan<\/span><\/span>.<\/p>\n

During the interview, Brennan asked what people of faith should do in response to the administration\u2019s actions.<\/p>\n

\n
<\/div>\n<\/div>\n

Coakley responded with a familiar talking point frequently invoked by open-borders advocates, asserting that the United States is \u201ca nation of immigrants\u201d and must remain \u201cgenerous in welcoming immigrants.\u201d<\/p>\n

While briefly acknowledging that nations have a \u201cright and a duty to respect sovereign borders,\u201d Coakley quickly pivoted back to arguing that migrants should be allowed to move freely when conditions in their home countries are unsafe.<\/p>\n

\n

Margaret Brennan:<\/strong>
What would you advise others, other people of faith, to do for these immigrants?<\/p>\n

Paul Coakley:<\/strong>
Well, we are a nation of immigrants ourselves. I think that\u2019s something that we, as Americans, need to always come back to. We are founded upon the immigrant experience. I think we need to be generous in welcoming immigrants.<\/p>\n

We certainly have a right and a duty to respect the borders of our nation. I would say, remind all of us that we have a right and a duty to respect the sovereign borders of a state, but we also have a responsibility to welcome migrants.<\/p>\n

This is a fundamental principle in Catholic social teaching regarding immigration and migration. People have a right to remain in their homeland, but they also ought to be allowed to migrate when conditions in their homeland are unsafe and necessitate moving to a place where they can find peace and security.<\/p>\n<\/blockquote>\n

The president of the United States Conference of Catholic Bishops, Oklahoma City Archbishop Paul Coakley, says the deportations happening in the U.S. are instilling fear, and \u201cthat\u2019s something that concerns us all.\u201d<\/p>\n

Last month, the globalist pope called on US bishops to rebuke President Trump\u2019s migrant raids in the US.<\/p>\n

Of course, since Pope Francis the Conference of Bishops in the US is consumed by far left members, a very obvious development in Catholic communities across the country.<\/p>\n

With Pope Leo XIV\u2019s request, the US Bishops released a near-unanimous statement<\/a> condemning President Trump for his aggressive raids on illegal aliens.<\/p>\n

\u201cWe oppose the indiscriminate mass deportation of people. We pray for an end to dehumanizing rhetoric and violence, whether directed at immigrants or at law enforcement,\u201d the bishops declared.<\/p>\n

President Trump gave illegals plenty of time to leave the country. Now he is fulfilling a promise to voters and is removing thousands of the 20 million illegal migrants who entered the country under Joe Biden. the Biden years, the Biden administration lost contact with approximately\u00a0300,000 unaccompanied migrant children<\/a>\u00a0based on aggregated data from DHS OIG audits, congressional oversight, and FOIA releases. Where was the Catholic Church then?<\/p>\n

Oh, that\u2019s right, the Catholic Church was making big dollars from the open border catastrophe. Total federal funding to Catholic entities for migrant-related services during the Biden years was approximately\u00a0$2.3 billion<\/a>.<\/p>\n

Trump cut off that cash cow for the Church.<\/p>\n
