Archbishop Chaput on Immigration Reform

Justice, Prudence, and Immigration Reform by Archbishop Chaput

Agreeing with the USCCB:
The bishops of the United States have suggested at least five key elements needed for any serious reform: (1) a path to citizenship for the undocumented; (2) the preservation and enhancement of family unity, based on the union of a husband and wife and their children; (3) the creation of legal channels for unskilled laborers to enter and work legally in this country; (4) due process rights for immigrants; and (5) constructive attention to the root causes of migration, such as economic hardship, political repression or religious persecution in the sending countries.
In their desire to be "humane," the bishops have become democrats.

They assume that the economic status quo will continue forever, not that we are in a contraction that will eventually end in the termination of the American way of life.
