PAX CHRISTI
………..working for peace & justice
US Catholic Bishops have grown increasingly disturbed
by the current public discourse surrounding immigrants,
in which newcomers are characterized
as a threat and not a benefit.
Anti-immigration fervor on TV & radio shows,
citizens attempting to enforce immigration laws and,
most disturbingly, the enactment of restrictive immigration laws
are evidence of this negative public environment.
