LA for Dreamers

Archbishop José H. Gomez urges Americans to remember that they are a nation made great by immigration. He reminds Catholics that all immigrants, belong to God’s family. He has placed the resources of the local Church at the service of these people who are most in need. The Archbishop is calling for immediate and comprehensive immigration reform.  He emphasizes three basic principles as the foundation for reform:

1. Every immigrant is a human person, a child of God.

2. We must keep families together.

3. Our nation should have secure borders and immigration laws that are just, realistic, and consistently and compassionately enforced.
