"Mass deportation threatens neighborhoods and families. This is not who we have pledged to be as one nation under God with liberty and justice for all. Catholic social teaching affirms that our common human dignity is found in the social bonds that makes us good neighbors and good friends, regardless of legal status. These actions disrupt the rhythm of commerce, schooling, and prayer in many neighborhoods. It tears at the fabric of families, businesses, and churches. We must remain resolute in fostering the social bonds that make us thrive together as brothers and sisters, children of the one God who loves us all."

As Pope Francis reminded us, ‘Migrants are not a threat, but a blessing' — a reminder that our faith teaches us to welcome the stranger with compassion, generosity, and respect.”
