Catholics Back Illegal Immigrants?

The Catholic church has started a very controversial campaign called Justice for Immigrants.

The campaign hopes to use God's law to replace U.S. immigration law.

The church also wants lawmakers to develop a plan to help bring their families to the U.S. as well.

According to the church, the Bible says to care for the poor, the weak and unfortunate.

The church says that includes illegal immigrants.

But many El Pasoans believe how the Catholic church interprets the Bible should not be above how the U.S. allows illegal immigrants into the country.

While the Catholic church insists compassion is their only motivation, many believe the church is failing to realize the borders of the sovereign United States.
