The Popes have been guilty of criticizing the building of walls and other nations for not receiving immigrants into others countries (not his) was the point.
Vatican City is the smallest state in the world and currently has a population of just over 800 inhabitants. The city-state covers 0.17 square miles. If it were perfectly square, the Vatican would be less than a half mile by a half mile. Vatican City citizenship is granted to people who live there for work or office, not based on birth. The Vatican's immigration policies are designed to protect its small population and the sanctity of its grounds. It's not as if immigrants are attempting to scale the Vatican City walls to escape persecution, and make a living, and the Pope is denying them access.
