Pope Leo XIV is trying to balance compassion for migrants with the need for order in host countries. During his week-long tour of Spain, he spoke to the Spanish parliament on Monday and later addressed migrants in Tenerife on Friday. He stressed that migrants must respect the laws of their new countries, while also saying 'all of us are migrants'.
