Pope Francis questions whether Trump is really ‘pro-life’ (This man is an idiot)Pope Francis echoed a popular progressive talking point on Monday when he questioned whether President Trump can really be considered “pro-life” due to his stance on immigration.
“I have heard the President of the United States speak,” the pope said aboard the papal plane, the National Catholic Reporter reported. “He presents himself as a pro-life man. If he is a good pro-lifer, he should understand that the family is the cradle of life and you must defend its unity.”
The pontiff was responding to a question from a Mexican reporter about Mr. Trump’s decision to end the Deferred Action for Childhood Arrivals program, known as DACA, which granted a two-year stay of deportation to illegal immigrants who were brought to the country as children.
Attorney General Jeff Sessions said the policy will be phased out over the next six months because there is no way to defend the constitutionality of the Obama-era program in court.
“Such an open-ended circumvention of immigration laws was an unconstitutional exercise of authority by the executive branch,” Mr. Sessions said Tuesday at the Justice Department.
