Bishops’ Statement
“We, the Roman Catholic Bishops in Michigan, bring our voices as teachers of the faith to the ongoing public debate over immigration policy. We do so with deep concern about the effectiveness of the nation’s immigration system and the lack of a consistent federal policy that addresses the common good for all peoples in the country.”
