Long before becoming pope, Leo XIV criticized Donald Trump’s approach to immigration. He was outspoken about the harsh treatment of people seeking safety or opportunity in the U.S.
According to the New York Post, he actively shared posts condemning Trump’s policies, especially those that led to the separation of families at the U.S.–Mexico border. He also voiced concern for Dreamers—young people raised in the U.S. without legal status—highlighting their vulnerable situation.
The Pope’s Core Belief: Love Without Limits
For Pope Leo XIV, helping those in need, especially the marginalized, is at the center of the Christian faith. That’s why he often speaks out when political actions conflict with this principle.
As reported by the Los Angeles Times, he frequently emphasizes that migrants and refugees deserve respect and care, no matter where they come from. His words are matched by his actions, showing that his values aren’t just spoken—they’re lived.
A Leader of Mercy
Pope Leo XIV’s message remains unwavering: kindness, empathy, and hospitality are not optional—they’re essential. No political ideology or legal policy should override the call to love one another, wherever in the world they may be.
