EL PASO, Texas (OSV News) — Mass deportations and asylum bans — part of the Trump administration’s rapid changes to U.S. immigration policy — destroy communities and human dignity, while constituting a “war on the poor,” said Bishop Mark J. Seitz of El Paso, Texas.

The bishop — who chairs the U.S. Conference of Catholic Bishops’ Committee on Migration —  shared his thoughts during a March 24 prayer vigil at Sacred Heart Church in El Paso, which capped a rally and march that began in the city’s downtown San Jacinto Plaza.

“Aquí Estamos: March and Vigil to Stand with Migrants” drew hundreds of participants, including immigration advocates, Catholic and interfaith clergy, religious and lay faithful.

The unity of government which constitutes you one people is also now dear to you. It is justly so, for it is a main pillar in the edifice of your real independence, the support of your tranquility at home, your peace abroad; of your safety; of your prosperity; of that very liberty which you so highly prize. But as it is easy to foresee that, from different causes and from different quarters, much pains will be taken, many artifices employed to weaken in your minds the conviction of this truth.  George Washington - Farewell Address

They ought to demonstrate just as vociferously for the Vatican to opens its WALLS to immigration. :whistle:
