Statement of the USCCB Administrative Committee

“What is clearly true, and what the Church and many others have called for, is the urgent need for a comprehensive reform of our country’s immigration system. The U.S. immigration system is overly complex and unjust, often keeping family members apart; it must be fixed.”

“We do not oppose legitimate law enforcement actions against those who would threaten the safety and security of our families and our communities. But when the law is used to divide, to instill fear, to separate, this is not good law. This is not humane law. This is not just law.”
