Texan bishop infuriated by claims the Church is profiting from mass migration

NEW YORK – An American bishop has hit out at the claims of U.S. Vice President JD Vance that the Catholic Church is actively supporting open borders because it profits financially from the care of migrants.

Mr Vance, a Catholic convert, said in an interview on CBS’s Sunday news programme Face the Nation, that the U.S. bishops received millions of dollars annually from the federal government to resettle refugees.

Responding the bishops’ opposition to President Donald Trump’s deportation policy, he said: “Are they worried about humanitarian concerns? Or are they actually worried about their bottom line?”
