Welcoming Christ in the Migrant


The Catholic Church in the U.S. is currently marking its National Migration Week whose theme this year is “Welcoming Christ in the Migrant.” The key event during this week is a 3 day conference on the theme of immigration that opens in Salt Lake City, Utah on Wednesday sponsored jointly by the U.S. Conference of Catholic Bishops (USCCB) and the Catholic Legal Immigration Network. Entitled “Immigration – a 50-state issue,” the participants will be calling for a humane federal solution to the problem of illegal immigration through a comprehensive reform of the current “broken” system.

Kevin Appleby, is the Director of Migration Policy for the USCCB, and he spoke to Susy Hodges about the current state of the immigration system and what reforms the Church is calling for.
