Executive Action: Keeping Migrant Families Together

Missionary Oblates JPIC join with other religious communities in celebrating President Obama historic action to provide deportation relief to an estimated 5 million of our undocumented immigrant brothers and sisters.

We applaud the President's executive decision to keep families together and thankful for his leadership in providing relief from the threat of deportation. Millions of people’s lives have been changed because of the brave organizing efforts of immigrants, people of faith and other allies.

People of faith stand with the President in celebrating this bold initiative, but we also re-commit to working alongside so many undocumented individuals who are still left out of this plan. A permanent solution awaits Congress to pass a comprehensive immigration reform.
