Funding a humanitarian approach to migrants and refugees

On April 5, Bishop Joe S. Vásquez of Austin, Texas, who represents the U.S. Conference of Catholic Bishops as chairman of the Committee on Migration, offered a comprehensive overview of where the bishops stand in a letter to members of Congress.

"Specifically this means," he said, "funding programs that protect the human life and dignity of immigrants, refugees, unaccompanied children and trafficking victims."
