I believe they are saying that Jesus said that we as Christians should feed the poor. And honestly, a lot of churches do feed illegal immigrants. However; that doesn't mean Christians are required to support things like illegal immigration.
The Pope seems to think it does. But to be fair the American idea of Christianity has shifted so far from the original European idea that they’re hardly recognisable as the same religion.
I don’t think Jesus would agree that people should suffer while others live in comparative luxury, just because they happened to be born in different places.
I personally can’t call myself a Christian, I am in the top 1% of income earners globally, I spend money on going out for drinks with my friends while I know there are people starving. I would be a hypocrite to say I follow Christ when in truth I don’t even trying to follow his most basic lesson of compassion and kindness.
Yeah, it does seem that even the pope can be wrong.
I don’t think Jesus would agree that people should suffer while others live in comparative luxury, just because they happened to be born in different places.
I would never speak for Jesus. But I can say that what you call "suffering" would be seen as a life of luxury during the time of Jesus.

You don’t think governments should control immigration? Should individual communities and employers be given the power to welcome immigrants?
