What, beside his recent statements in Mexico, has led you to this conclusion?

I have a anti-religious bias and a strong proponent of separation of Church and State, Catholicism included.

As for my comment being silly, I think not. Forget the legality of border crossings for a moment and think about the risks involved and loss of lives by those venturing, especially through Arizona. Pope could have spoke about this but chose to tweak Trump's nose instead.

Again a Holier than Thou act IMO.

Disagree. He has said much the same about Syrian refugees in Europe.

It's a fine day for lying. Trump trying to back away from calling GWB a liar, Vatican trying to convince us the Pope wasn't talking about Donald, Cruz with whatever his "lie of the day" is, and Scalia lying in state.
It's a big three ring circus of lying liars lying around, lying about whether they've lied or been lied about.

Expected of him in general. But here going to the border and pointedly injecting himself in the internal politics of the US suggest a bigger aim.

Now, now Raj. Don't beat up on our righty friends when they realize that the Republican party has devolved into a pack of barking hyenas.

I was born on a Tuesday, but it wasn't last Tuesday. I've been looking for a non-establishment candidate for 20 years now. When it has come down to POS(D) vs. POS(R), and I pick POS(R) it doesn't mean I think the R's are all that.

And barking hyenas, really? It's only been two days since Hillary did exactly that. Folks are still working on their youtube compilations of her.

So what? Truth is I've a neighbor who is a Trump fan and he's Hispanic. Lots of financially comfortable Hispanics are Trump fans. I've another neighbor, an attorney, who's gung-ho for Trump. Trump's appeal is broader than the mainstream politicians are willing to see let alone admit.
