Vance: Catholic Church Helps Migrants For The Money

January 26, 2025 Immigration, Republicans

Vice President Vance said in an interview aired Sunday that the US Conference of Catholic Bishops has “not been a good partner in common sense immigration enforcement” after the assembly condemned several of President Trump’s executive orders. A number of Christian organizations rebuked Trump’s immigration executive orders in the days after his inauguration, noting how they violate core tenets of Christianity and endanger vulnerable populations.

Archbishop Timothy P. Broglio, the USCCB president, said in a Wednesday statement that some provisions of Trump’s executive actions, including those that affect immigrants and refugees, “are deeply troubling and will have negative consequences.”

Vance, who is Catholic, said he was “heartbroken” by the USCCB statement. “I think that the US Conference of Catholic Bishops needs to actually look in the mirror a little bit and recognize that when they receive over $100 million to help resettle illegal immigrants, are they worried about humanitarian concerns?” Vance questioned. “Or are they actually worried about their bottom line?”
