Bishops press for route to citizenship – North Carolina
Tagged: border, citizenship“In a letter sent to members of Congress from the Carolinas, Catholic bishops in Charlotte, Raleigh and Charleston urged passage of immigration legislation that would include a path to U.S. citizenship for refugees and those here illegally.
Their plea could present a challenge to a trio of conservative Catholic lawmakers — GOP Reps. Patrick McHenry of Cherryville, Virginia Foxx of Banner Elk and Walter Jones of Farmville. All three have stood with their church in rejecting abortion and same-sex marriage, but have been outspoken in opposing what they call amnesty for border-crossing lawbreakers.”
