No on abortion, yes on immigration reform. They’re batting .500 so far.

Catholic doctrine clearly states that nations have a right to secure their borders.

"Political authorities, for the sake of the common good for which they are responsible may make the exercise of the right to immigrate subject to various juridical conditions, especially with regard to the immigrants' duties toward their country of adoption. Immigrants are obliged to respect with gratitude the material and spiritual heritage of the country that receives them, to obey its laws and to assist in carrying civic burdens." Catholic Catechism, 2241.

The American bishops have taken it upon themselves to contradict doctrine and act as though America has a moral responsibilty to tear down our border fences.
