Pope urges U.S. Congress to reject 'mindset of hostility' on immigration


    WASHINGTON (Reuters) - Pope Francis on Thursday urged the U.S. Congress to reject a "mindset of hostility" on immigration and to recognise people who wish to move to the United States as people who are trying to improve their lives and those of their families.

    "Building a nation calls us to recognise that we must constantly relate to others, rejecting a mindset of hostility in order to adopt one of reciprocal subsidiarity," the 78-year-old Argentine-born pope said in an address to a Congress that is divided on immigration policy.
