A statement by Providence, Rhode Island, Catholic Bishop Thomas Tobin:

“We often ask, ‘What would Jesus do?’” Tobin said in an interview Thursday. “I know for sure what Jesus would not do, would be to sweep into a community, gather up large numbers of people, separate them from one another and deport them to another country. In my own mind, in my own conscience, that’s crystal clear: Jesus would not do that.”

I couldn’t agree more with his statement. I am a strong advocate of immigration reform. America should open its borders to more immigrants, especially if they are highly skilled; it should also minimize efforts pursuing the deportation “illegal” immigrants who are otherwise productive, law-abiding members of society.
