What I think he's trying to say is something condemning the world powers from creating these migrants in the first place.
We bash Cuba for human rights while Trump is bowing to the King of Saudi Arabia?? (And Obama, Bush Jr, Clinton, Sr., etc / etc / etc)
We Draw lines in the ashes of an empire based on colonial aspirations after a great World War and then go "shucks, that didn't work out too well".
We use places like Iraq, Syria, Afghanistan as a weapons testing playground and then act surprised when the maimed children of the dead grow up with absolute hate in their hearts.
I'm not a Pacifist by any means. But these Wag the Dog wars can't be encouraged any longer. And when the wars stop, refugees become something only imagined because of natural disaster. The pope is a good man deep down. Trump, Obama, Bush, all good men deep down. But they got sucked into the "Deep State" just like the other leaders around this world. If the Pope is trying to expose it, then so be it (although, the head of that organization has many more buried demons that need to be exposed before stones are thrown in that 2000 year old house...)
