Biden’s immigration policy needs reboot — and a moral vision. Pope Francis can help.

According to this article on National Catholic Report, by Michael Sean Winters

“The building crisis at the border threatens to dominate all other news stories as graphic, heart-rending images of desperate people hiding under a bridge or crossing a barren desert lead the news. President Joe Biden needs to reset his approach to immigration and he can start by leaning into his Catholic faith.

It is difficult to characterize what exactly Biden’s approach is. At a Sept. 21 Senate hearing, Homeland Security Secretary Alejandro Mayorkas testified to his disgust at the images of border control agents whipping Haitian refugees. “We do not tolerate any mistreatment or abuse of a migrant. Period,” he intoned. But in interviews in the past few days, for example this one at NBC, he coldly defended sending Haitians back to that country, ravaged by hurricanes, an earthquake and civil strife.

When speaking about the problems at the border, administration officials do not lapse into the antiimmigrant rhetoric Trump administration officials routinely used, but they do at times speak as if they had forgotten we are talking about human beings.”
