Justice for Immigrants
I was forwarded a link to the Justice for Immigrants website today, and it brings up a very important issue—should we, or should we not, offer assistance and citizenship to 'illegal immigrants?' According to Catholic teaching and Christian solidarity, the least we can do is provide them with corporal assistance (food, shelter, etc.). But there are forces at work in our government that might work to make it illegal for even a priest to give food to illegal immigrants under certain conditions, and try to make any 'undocumented' persons leave the country.
Please take a minute and read more about this issue—it has faced our nation many times before, and it is an important issue to familiarize yourself with.
