Vice President J.D. Vance Criticizes U.S. Bishops Over Trump's Immigration Orders and Their $100 Million Funding
Jan 26, 2025, 03:35 PM
Vice President J.D. Vance has criticized the U.S. Conference of Catholic Bishops for their opposition to certain executive orders signed by President Donald Trump, particularly regarding immigration enforcement. Vance expressed disappointment over the bishops' recent statement, stating, "As a practicing Catholic, I was actually heartbroken by" their criticism of Trump's immigration policies. He accused the bishops of not being effective partners in commonsense immigration enforcement, which he claims reflects the will of the American people. Vance urged the bishops to "look in the mirror" and questioned their motivations, suggesting that their concerns might be more about financial implications than humanitarian issues. He highlighted that the bishops receive over $100 million to assist in resettling illegal immigrants and challenged them to address the humanitarian costs associated with immigration enforcement, including the issue of child trafficking linked to border security.
