Urge Congress to Oppose Harmful Changes to Immigration Law as a Condition for Supplemental Funding
Over the past several months, a handful of senators have negotiated behind closed doors to reach an agreement on potential changes to U.S. immigration law. Although the final agreement included some positive supplementary funding measures, in a recent letter to Senate Leadership, Bishop Seitz addressed several specific provisions included in the final agreement that warrant concern, including several changes that “would unjustly undermine due process and pave the way for avoidable and potentially life-threatening harm to be inflicted on vulnerable persons seeking humanitarian protection in the United States.” Complete this action alert to join with the U.S. bishops in opposing harmful and counterproductive changes to immigration law as a condition for supplemental funding.
Tell Congress You Support Immigration Reform that Respects Religious Liberty
The Catholic Church has long been at the forefront of efforts to welcome immigrants to the United States and promote their successful integration. Recently, these realities have collided, producing a rise in hostility from a limited number of public officials, media outlets, and private organizations toward the Church’s longstanding ministries. It is critical that religious liberty be protected and the Church’s efforts to provide care to vulnerable migrants be respected and supported. We urge you to complete this action alert to encourage members of Congress to work toward bipartisan immigration reform that furthers the common good, upholds religious freedom, and respects the God-given dignity of all.
