Citizens for Immigrants

via @ g92movement & @MatthewSoerens:

Driven by his Christian faith, Sheriff Curran has become one of our state’s most effective advocates for Immigration Reform….
A Republican, Sheriff Curran is also a deeply-committed Catholic Christian. A few years ago—after Francis Cardinal George challenged him to apply his conviction that human beings are made in God’s image (which had led him to his strong pro-life position) to undocumented immigrants as well—Sheriff Curran found himself wrestling with how to apply the teachings of Scripture and of his Church about immigrants to his vocation as a sheriff. He determined that he had to dramatically change his posturetoward immigrants: yes, the law was important and he was bound as Sheriff to enforce state law, but when the law was separating families, as a Christian he had to speak up for better laws, which would respect the dignity of immigrants, maintain the unity of the nuclear family, and restore the rule of law to a system that, through decades of selective non-enforcement, had lost its meaning.
