Because migrants are human

She could have said a lot of things about Trump's Wall. She could have said it would be ineffective, expensive, disastrous for border communities and landowners. But she called it "an immorality."

via ytCropperIt's probably accurate to assume that the reason that ungrammatical label sprang to her mind goes back to Nancy Pelosi's good Roman Catholic education in Baltimore.

Cardinal Joseph W. Tobin, archbishop of Newark, lays out Catholic teaching on migration in an oped. It's actually rather simple:

Is the border wall ethical? President Trump has suggested the wall is moral and those who oppose it immoral. His critics claim the opposite.

To answer this, we have to consider its effect on humans. What harm could a border wall cause to immigrants and refugees, all of whom are equal to us in the eyes of God?

... You must also look at the intent of someone who wants to construct a wall in order to determine its morality. In this case, it is clear that Mr. Trump wants to deny entry to anyone crossing the southern border, even those who have a right to cross and seek protection and are no threat to us. ...

... The way in which Mr. Trump has argued for a wall also is instructive. In trying to secure funding, he has cast all immigrants as criminals and threats to national security by spreading misleading and inaccurate information about them. His justification for the wall is based upon lies and smears against the vast majority of immigrants who are law-abiding and moral, but whom he paints as less than human. ...

... Immigration reform that is humane and honors our nation’s values must finally be enacted, and the root causes of global migration addressed. ...

Migrants are sister and brother human beings. To act otherwise is an "immorality."
