Pope Francis has spent years and years calling on all countries to accept all illegals. Pope Francis is anti-borders.
Can you say HYPOCRISY!?!?

Honestly, these read more like the strictest trespassing laws on the planet.
It's kinda like using the logic "The Vatican has 19,000 immigrants a day" because that's the average number of Museum visitors. There really are no immigrants to Vatican City. Only clergy can be residents, and claiming "sanctuary" like a hunchback isn't recognized by international law.
Looking into it they included airspace and drones, so maybe they have a drone problem?
It's more like a giant park that is also a sovereign nation and this is the new penalty The Vatican imposes for not staying on the correct path, or trying to jump the wall when closed to tourists.
It does seem a bit hypocritical that they've decided to be so harsh. But Vatican City has the 3rd highest overall crime rate in Europe because of all the shitbag criminals from Rome targeting pilgrimage tourists, so maybe it's more about that?
Rome in general has most of its crime in the tourist areas. Mostly theft, mugging, and scam artists.
Things that stick out about Rome.
"Hey this is like Vegas with all the street artists."
"A lot of people offering timeshares."
"That's a lot of Graffiti."
