The Pope is a head of state whose country is The Holy See. If he wants open borders so badly, people opposed to our open borders need to start camping out on the lawn of the Vatican embassy in Washington.
I mean literal camping. Pitch a tent. Look at all of that lawn they have there! They could afford let some people live there!
Take a pregnant woman there to tell them she wants to have the baby on Vatican soil so the Pope can support her. I realize that it wouldn’t make her child a citizen of The Holy See, but that’s precisely my point.
People opposed to the Pope’s stance on open (US) borders should go into the embassy and demand food and shelter. Are you sick? Go talk to the Vatican embassy.
In other words, conservatives (especially with the Pope here) should go to the grounds of the embassy and not leave until they’re arrested. Their defense? “The Pope says enforcing immigration is bad, so I’m taking his advice.”
Normally, this is the purview of the Left, but I think it's certainly appropriate here.
