As the U.S. and Europe debate immigration, the Pope—long a vocal defender of migrants—uses this historic stop, timed near America’s 250th independence anniversary, to push for protection, shared responsibility, and humane policies. He’ll honor the island’s tragic past and enduring generosity, visiting a migrant cemetery and the symbolic “Door of Europe,” while calling for safe passage and speaking with a migrant family. With over 1,300 deaths last year alone on this deadliest migration route, his visit is a stark moral counterpoint to policies that prioritize deterrence over dignity.
