I have a few objections to the arguments of this Sunday’s letter that faults the U.S. Conference of Catholic Bishops for its teaching about our country’s current immigration policies.
The writer claims that Donald Trump’s policy of strict immigration enforcement is the “voters’ choice” when in fact most voters did not endorse his policy or even his election. He won the electoral vote, not the popular vote. The electoral vote does not equal the “people’s democratic will,” and many of us American people do not “demand to stop illegal immigration,” through using the cruel tactics of the present administration which have traumatized children and parents and caused deaths of innocent asylum seekers.
So, I am grateful for the position on this of the USCCB. So much has happened to people at our southern border and in detention centers that would make Jesus very angry and sad, in my belief.
