A Jesuit border priest on Trump and the plight of migrants

This week’s episode of “Jesuitical” features a conversation with
Brian Strassburger, S.J., a Jesuit priest who serves as the
director of Del Camino Jesuit Border Ministries in the Diocese of
Brownsville, Tex., and a co-host of the Jesuit Border Podcast. In
his ministry, Brian not only celebrates Mass in migrant shelters
and camps at the U.S.-Mexico border, but he and his team also
provide basic orientation and advocacy for migrants navigating the
complex U.S. immigration system. Zac, Ashley and Brian
discuss:  - What the election of Donald J. Trump might mean
for migrants and his border ministry - How Brian talks to Catholics
who are concerned about chaos at the border and want to see greater
immigration restrictions - Brian’s vision of heaven: one where the
poor and migrants are welcomed and honored, rather than dismissed
and betrayed Links for further reading:  The Betrayal of
