At the conclusion of a recent meeting of the Texas-Mexico border bishops, the participating prelates highlighted the importance of the partnership between the Church and federal government on migration, and their commitment to serving migrants and refugees.
The first of the bi-annual meetings was held from Feb. 26-28 at Assumption Seminary in San Antonio. The focus of this year’s meeting, amid the Trump administration’s mass deportation plans and cancellation of migrant and refugee resettlement funding, was the situation of migrants and refugees.
In their message at the end of the meeting, the prelates noted that the Church “has always been a reliable partner of our governments” in helping the vulnerable who arrive to the United States. They also emphasized the co-responsibility the sides share, and the need for immigration reform.
“We are all responsible in promoting the common good, simultaneously safeguarding the dignity of all by finding the right balance between various human rights, such as the right of the workers and their families to have their situation regularized, the right not to be exploited, the right to migrate, the right not to need to migrate, and the right of all to have their government guarantee security in their own country,” the prelates said in their message.
