Why is this Vatican cardinal weighing in on the US border fence?  If it is moral to have a border and to police who crosses it and when they cross it, then is it not moral to use a fence as a means toward that end?  Analogies to Berlin Wall don’t hold up, because that wall was designed to keep people in, not out. 

Vanity Fair Gets Whacked by National Review
