Pope Francis has condemned US president Trump over his migration policy that separates migrant families.
The foreign policy of the US has led to many parents being separated from their kids at the Mexican border.
The Pope told Reuters that the policy is populist and not the answer to the world’s immigration issues.
Pope Francis is quoted as saying that the separation of children from their parents is “immoral”.
“It’s not easy, but populism is not the solution,” the Pope said.
On Tuesday an audio recording in which migrant children in the US can be heard crying for their parents was released.
US President Donald Trump is defiant over his immigration policy with some 2,000 migrant children separated from their parents.
These families tried to cross the US border illegally in the past two months. Mr Trump said he would not allow the US to become a “migrant camp”.
The UN high commissioner for refugees says the policy is “unacceptable”.
What’s the policy?
The Trump administration’s “zero tolerance” policy criminally charges families entering the US illegally. That includes asylum seekers.
The policy has been condemned by many prominent politicians, both democrats and republicans
