Pope Leo’s Challenge to America on July 4

Pope Leo XIV visited Lampedusa on July 4 to honor migrant graves and criticize U.S. immigration policies, contrasting with President Trump's 250th anniversary celebration in Washington, D.C. The pope called for the U.S. to uphold its founding ideals in treating immigrants, while Vice President Vance dismissed Vatican statements on immigration as 'generic' and 'trite platitudes.'
