The Catechism envisions an
orderly process of
immigration, subject to legal requirements — not the chaotic, dangerous, uncontrolled situation we have now.
I have to tell you, I am staunchly conservative, as I'm sure you can attest, and I am against the unending flood of illegal and undocuumented
immigration into the U.S.. But, like the statement says, what we need is a logical, enforceable,
orderly process by which we, as Americans, can express the opportunities to come enrich our culture to future immigrants that so many of our ancestors enjoyed, which coincides with the Church's admonition to help the needy.
