    The Mormon Church and Illegal Immigration

    New Report Examines Contradictions

    WASHINGTON (April 20, 2011) – In the wake of Utah's passage of a guestworker/amnesty bill, the role of the Church of Jesus Christ of Latter-day Saints in that effort, and the stance of the Church on immigration issues generally, has come under scrutiny. While nominally neutral on the issue, the Church seems to have moved toward support for illegal immigrants and opposition to immigration enforcement. Contradictions between official Church policies, the statements of senior Church leaders, and the actions of the Church’s public affairs and media groups have sparked considerable debate among members.

    A new paper from the Center for Immigration Studies is the first look at this issue. “The Mormon Church and Illegal Immigrationâ€

    spirited and cruel

    At the same time the Church tells new converts in the poorest countries and villages in the world to stay where they are in order to build up the Church there, its public affairs and media groups and surrogates accuse those who ask people illegally in the United States to return to those very same countries and villages of being mean-spirited and cruel.

    Illegal immigration is going to destroy the religious institutions who choose to support it. Whether that's a good thing or a bad thing is hard to say at this point, but any church that promotes illegal immigration will go down over it. If these church leaders think their members want illegal aliens in their masses and services on Sunday after stealing their jobs on Friday, then they really have a lot to learn about Americans and our "spirituality".
