Vice President Vance Tells Conference of Bishops To ‘Look in the Mirror’ After It Complains About Trump Immigration Policies
According to the conference’s financial statements, it spent nearly $125 million for ‘migration and refugee services’ in 2022, more than 90 percent of which came from government sources.
Vice President Vance, who is a practicing Catholic, forcefully pushed back against the U.S. Conference of Catholic Bishops on Sunday after the religious group criticized President Trump’s new executive orders related to immigration, deportations, and refugee resettlement. The vice president says the bishops may be complaining only because of the vast sums of money their charities raise for migrant services.
Mr. Trump has issued a flurry of executive actions aimed at immigration since returning to the White House just six days ago. He also has deployed troops to the southern border, directed the military to begin facilitating deportation flights, and is trying to invalidate birthright citizenship.
