Migrant worker visas and refugee resettlement policies have come to the forefront of the nation’s immigration dialogue.
Catholics are sensitive to the reasons why families flee their home country, such as war, unjust governments and authoritarian regimes that suppress religious freedom, oftentimes with violence. A lack of food, water, health care or other necessities also play a role. Yet concerns for border security and respect for American values also come into play.

Questions about immigration to ponder as you consider a candidate:
• Does the candidate support an immigration reform proposal that offers a path to citizenship, treats workers fairly, and prevents the separation of families?
• Does the candidate support immigration reform that maintains border integrity, respects U.S. laws, and addresses factors that compel people to leave their own countries?
