Very well done. A call to action, a call to conversation, a radical love to our historical / religious roots. More people should read this and prepare to engage in the lives of their neighbors. Moreover, it is well-researched and the approach to immigration law digestible. Though published in 2013, we are still in the same crisis today, too many divided on the subject of immigration, a subject that goes beyond merely "immigration" but is truly a questioning of what "America" stands for.

A timely find

"America's history is missionary and immigrant." The Archbishop gives a great perspective and Catholic insight on a hot topic! ...And still valid in the Trump era!
