  Tagle has advocated for better treatment of migrants, remarking in 2018 to the United Nations:
  
  Migration is about human persons. I have observed that some people who are afraid of migrants or refugees have had very little personal encounter with them. They do not even know the people they fear. By meeting them, touching their wounds, listening to their stories and dreams, we might see ourselves in them. They are not strangers. They could be me, my parents, my brothers and sisters, my friend.
  
  Tagle has denounced the preferential option for Christians in refugee resettlement programs, noting that any policy prioritizing Christians generates animosity and biases between Muslims and Christians.
