Pope Francis: ‘We Are Racists, We Are Racists’
ROME, Italy — Pope Francis accused the West of racism Friday, insisting migrants are “subdivided” by skin color and country of origin.
“Refugees are subdivided,” the pontiff declared during a lengthy Good Friday interview on Italian television. “There’s first class, second class, skin color, [whether] they come from a developed country [or] one that is not developed.”
“We are racists, we are racists. And this is bad,” the pope stated.

EXCLUSIVE: 'Biden's to blame!' THREE healthy female employees at Texas detention center Die of Covid after being forced 'to work long hours without adequate protection' during Migrant Border Crisis
Three employees at the largest immigration detention center in the United States, have died from Covid-19 since February 2021, an exclusive Dailymail.com investigation has found.
Family members and former coworkers say members of staff at the South Texas Family Residential Center in Dilley, Texas contracted the deadly virus while working long hours in an environment where there wasn't adequate protection.
The three female workers, two of whom DailyMail.com can identify as Amber Leal and Debra Lee Flores, were all young, healthy, single women aged 31 to 39 years old, with the youngest leaving behind a five-year-old son.
Two of the women spent the last several weeks of their life battling the disease in the hospital before eventually succumbing to the virus.
News of the virus-related deaths comes amid reports that the Biden administration next month plans to scrap Title 42, a Trump-era policy allowing border patrol agents to deny entry to migrants due to pandemic restrictions.
Speaking to DailyMail.com in an exclusive interview, former employee Glen Garfield blamed the Biden administration's policies and CoreCivic, the owner of the facility, for the employees' deaths.

26 Governors Launch a Border Strike Force to 'secure the southern border' and 'do what the Biden administration won't' by tackling drug smugglers and human traffickers with weeks until Title 42 is dropped
All 26 Republican governors launched an initiative Tuesday to help secure the southern border as the U.S. braves for a tripling in migration once the Biden administration ends pandemic-era Title 42 next month.
The American Governors' Border Strike Force, led by Arizona Governor Doug Ducey and Texas Governor Greg Abbott, is aimed at 'fill[ing] the void created by federal inaction and work to secure the southern border by sharing intelligence, strengthening cybersecurity and improving efforts to protect children and families.'
Border crossing numbers skyrocketed in March to the highest point of Joe Biden's presidency with Customs and border Protection (CBP) apprehending 221,303 migrants crossing the southern border.
The program is based on the Arizona Border Strike Force, which was developed by Ducey in 2015, and since its inception has led to the seizure of '985 pounds of fentanyl, 13,100 pounds of methamphetamine, 1,704 pounds of cocaine and 801 pounds of heroin.'
