Dear Fathers:

With President Obama's recent announcement concerning administrative changes in enforcement procedures by the Immigration and Customs Enforcement, I thought it would be wise to uplift for you one more time the USCCB website on this topic.  The link is:  www.justiceforimmigrants.org.  Prominently featured is the statement from the USCCB regarding the recent administrative change.  Kindly note that while the USCCB does welcome this administrative change for some young people, we do not consider this a substitute for comprehensive immigration reform.  I hope you will find ways to let key leadership in your parishes know and utilize this very fine website.
