Pope Leo XIV has made a pointed intervention in the global migration debate, reframing the central question. He stated, "I would change the question: what is the Global North doing to help the Global South in the situation that forces them to migrate?" This shifts the focus from the migrants themselves to the underlying conditions of conflict, poverty, and instability that drive people to leave their homes. The Pope's comments come amid ongoing global food crises and conflicts that continue to displace millions.
