“As followers of Jesus around the world prepare to observe the feast of the Epiphany, we continue to stand in solidarity with those who represent this generation’s holy families fleeing the massacre of innocents. The Interfaith Welcome Coalition of San Antonio implores President Biden to reflect upon the social teachings of his faith and to make every effort to protect the most vulnerable,” said Matt Lohmeier, IWC of SA Advocacy Committee Co-Chair.
“The decision to continue to exploit illegitimate programs like Title 42, which actively place families into harm’s way, is simply deplorable. The humane course that we continue to demand includes comprehensive immigration reform grounded in compassion for those seeking refuge from the violence of war, poverty, and climate disruption. It is well past time to apply a 21st century human rights lens to immigration policy for the sake of human beings in desperate need of a place to be and to flourish.”
