Pope Praises U.S. History of Welcoming Migrants

“Pope Leo has used his first key address to his home country to praise the U.S. history of ⁠welcoming migrants, urging Americans to live up to the ideals put forward in the ⁠Declaration of Independence,” The Guardian reports.

“In his latest implicit rebuke to Donald Trump, the first U.S. leader of the Roman Catholic church said the word ‘America’ had become ‌a ‘byword for freedom’ across the world because of the way the country welcomed migrants.”
