One thing most Americans agree on: our immigration system is broken.
We are called, as Christians, to practice hospitality. This does not mean we are advocates for illegal immigration or open border policies. We seek to advocate for the humane treatment of those coming to our country while amending our immigration policies to create more effective and safe ways for immigration to the U.S.
We believe in safe and secure borders, thorough vetting, and the dignified treatment of these vulnerable populations.
We are asking Congress to pass bipartisan legislative solutions on immigration that uphold human dignity and support the interests of the American people. Our nation’s immigration laws should:
- Respect the rule of law (including the right to claim asylum)
- Protect the unity of the immediate family.
- Commit to safety and security on the border and in our communities.
- Show compassion to immigrants by allowing them an opportunity to earn lawful status and citizenship.
- Provide migrants the opportunity to lawfully contribute to our economy.
Tell your Representatives in Congress that you want to see meaningful, bipartisan immigration reform that allows for secure borders AND the compassionate treatment of immigrants.
On February 18th 2025, funding for these legal services contracts (that cover more than 26,000 child cases) was halted nationwide (for review and reconsideration) by the current Administration.
Let’s tell our elected officials that the safety of migrant children is an area we’re not willing to compromise. All children should be protected from the vulnerabilities of trafficking and exploration.
