Pope Francis
Pope Francis says Donald Trump's plans to deport illegal migrants from the US would be a "disgrace" if they materialised.
Mr. Trump has promised to begin the largest expulsion of undocumented immigrants in US history soon after he takes office.
Speaking to an Italian TV programme from his Vatican residence, Francis said that if the plans went ahead, Trump would make "poor wretches that don't have anything foot the bill".
"That's not right. That's not how you solve problems," he said.
In a message to Trump shared on Monday, Pope Francis offered him "cordial greetings" and urged him to lead a society with "no room for hatred, discrimination or exclusion" and promote "peace and reconciliation among peoples".
