Bishop Slattery calls for secure borders, immigration reform

Finally! A Bishop using common sense and Catholic teaching to address immigration.  Sadly, most of the USCCB is welcoming illegal immigration.

As Oklahoma legislators ponder legislation on immigration, Bishop Edward Slattery of Tulsa has issued a statement calling for secure borders and immigration reform.

“It is the clear teaching of the Catholic Church that sovereign nations have the right to control their borders; but the corollary of this teaching must also be upheld: when our nation’s demand for labor attracts a massive number of potential immigrants, the United States must do what it can to establish an orderly process whereby needed workers can enter the country in a legal, safe and dignified manner to obtain jobs or to reunite themselves with family members,” Bishop Slattery said in his statement.
