These dramatic and discriminatory policies will only harm, not help, U.S. interests and our national security. They fly in the face of the core American values of welcoming persecuted families and individuals who come to the U.S. to rebuild their lives in safety and dignity.

#Refugees being resettled to the #USA undergo long and thorough security process before being admitted. “Extreme vetting” you might say. #WithRefugees. bit.ly/refreset (at Jesuit Refugee Service/USA)

Earlier today Cardinal Joseph W. Tobin, CSs.R., of the Archdiocese of Newark noted: “This nation has a long and rich history of welcoming those who have sought refuge because of oppression or fear of death. The Acadians, French, Irish, Germans, Italians, Poles, Hungarians, Jews and Vietnamese are just a few of the many groups over the past 260 years whom we have welcomed and helped to find a better, safer life for themselves and their children in America. Even when such groups were met by irrational fear, prejudice and persecution, the signature benevolence of the United States of American eventually triumphed. That confident kindness is what has made, and will continue to make, America great.” bit.ly/2kcl08I . . . #refugees #migrants #asylum #detention #Jesuit #Catholic #USA

As Catholics who work to welcome refugees every day, we oppose any plan to reduce refugee admissions and to prevent Muslim refugees from being resettled in the United States. Please add your voice to ours in opposing any plans to ban resettlement of certain nationalities.

Jesuit Refugee Service/USA Interim Executive Director Fr. Leo J. O’Donovan S.J. notes that welcoming refugees and migrants “reflects our desire to respond to the call of the Jewish and Christian scriptures to welcome strangers among us, especially those in danger or great need.” Our country’s welcome of these newcomers expresses who we are as a people. It is a sign of our commitment to the rights of refugees to seek and enjoy asylum from persecution.
