Former White House chief strategist Steve Bannon said he doesn’t agree with President Donald Trump’s decision to end the DACA program and blasted the Catholic Church’s support for undocumented immigrants because \u201cthey need illegal aliens to fill the churches.\u201d<\/p>\n

\u201cThe Catholic Church has been terrible about this. The bishops have been terrible about this. By the way, you know why. You know why. Because [they\u2019re] unable to really \u2014 to come to grips with the problems in the church, they need illegal aliens,\u201d Bannon told CBS\u2019 Charlie Rose in an interview, excerpts of which were broadcast Thursday on \u201cCBS This Morning.\u201d \u201cThey need illegal aliens to fill the churches. It’s obvious on the face of it. \u2026 They have an economic interest. They have an economic interest in unlimited immigration, unlimited illegal immigration.\u201d<\/p>\n

Bannon told Rose that he disagreed with Trump\u2019s decision this week to rescind the Deferred Action for Childhood Arrivals program, which grants work permits to undocumented immigrants who were brought to the U.S. as minors. But he also expressed empathy for the president, who said he struggled with what to do about the so-called Dreamers who enrolled in DACA and whom Trump had pledged to treat with \u201cgreat heart.\u201d<\/p>\n

\u201cLook what he did on DACA the other day. OK, I don’t agree with that DACA decision, but I understand how he struggled with it. I understand how he’s giving a possibility of a legislative thing,\u201d Bannon said in his interview, which will be broadcast Sunday night on CBS\u2019 \u201c60 Minutes.\u201d \u201cAnd he said even last night in a tweet, even a tweet, he would rethink it. Trust me, the guys on the far right, the guys on the conservative side, are not happy with this.\u201d<\/p>\n
