Immigration Reform ?

All people are created in the image of God, and this biblical truth should be the guiding value for immigration reform. Our immigration system must treat people fairly and provide the opportunity for people to flourish as God intends. The president and senators from both political parties have called for immigration reform that would reflect this principle.
 
America has always been and still is a nation of immigrants. For hundreds of years, hard-working families have come to the United States for the chance to better their lives and contribute to our society. Scripture speaks loudly and clearly about the response required of us: God calls us to welcome the stranger (Deuteronomy 10), and our faith demands we love the least among us (Matthew 25). Supporting immigration reform is an opportunity to put our faith into action on behalf of 11 million new Americans.

There are hopeful signs that politicians from both sides of the aisle are finally ready to pass immigration reform, but those opposed are already mobilizing to try and stop progress from happening. The voice of the faith community is needed now more than ever.
