(FROM THE ARTICLE: “It is wrong to scapegoat those who are here without documents” . . . “For indeed, they are here due to a broken immigration system. And it is a broken immigration system which both parties have failed to fix” . . . “look to the undocumented and find qualities they share in common” . . . “So many of the undocumented have for decades been connected to us” . . . “They are here not by invasion, but by invitation — an invitation to harvest the fruits of the earth that feed our families; an invitation to clean our tables, homes and hotel rooms; an invitation to landscape our lawns; and yes, even an invitation to care for our children and elders.” . . . “Looking for connections instead of differences, people can respond to this moment and thus reclaim our calling to live as authentic persons in the image of divine persons.”)
