In an interview with Italian television station TV2000, the president of the United States Conference of Catholic Bishops contests allegations made by Trump administration officials, and calls for reforms to US migration policy.
In an interview broadcast on Italian television station TV200, Archbishop Broglio said the Conference was struck by attacks from Trump officials “because they are not true.” “The words used are false,” he said, “and we have decided to respond in a very chaste manner, without going into the substance of speeches, but telling the truth.”
The Archbishop noted that the Church has always insisted on respect for the laws, but explained that in concrete circumstances, the Church has to assist those in need, even if they have entered the country illegally. “We must help them, because it is Christ Himself who is asking us to do so.”

The Archbishop emphasized the need to respond to those who have difficulties with the bishops’ work with migrants and refugees, and insisted on the importance of continuing talks with Congress to reform migration law. “We almost all agree that it needs to be changed,” he said.
“We are willing to dialogue,” Archbishop Broglio continued, adding, “We have also asked for the possibility of meeting with the president or the vice-president to talk, not in the media, but face to face. In this way I believe we can try to understand each other and move forward.”
