The Catholic Church in the U.S. has long supported immigration reform that upholds human dignity, family unity and legal pathways to citizenship. In 2000, the bishops issued “Welcoming the Stranger Among Us,” calling for a compassionate and just response to migration.
We call upon all people of good will, but Catholics especially, to welcome the newcomers in their neighborhoods and schools, in their places of work and worship, with heartfelt hospitality, openness, and eagerness both to help and to learn from our brothers and sisters, of whatever race, religion, ethnicity, or background.
