Core Values: u.s.-Mexico Border and Integral Part

core values: We stand ready to work with a new administration to continue to ensure that refugees are humanely welcomed without sacrificing our security or our core values as Americans, according to Metro News. A duty to welcome and protect newcomers, particularly refugees, is an integral part of our mission to help our neighbours in need, the bishops said. Meeting just days after the election, the U.S. Conference of Catholic Bishops said serving people fleeing violence and conflict is part of our identity as Catholics and pledged to continue this ministry. Trump had said during the campaign that he would build a wall on the U.S.-Mexico border and immediately deport all 11 million people in the country illegally, though he later distanced himself from that position. The Obama administration has deported more than 2.5 million people since taking office in 2009, according to the Homeland Security Department. In an interview that aired Sunday on CBS 60 Minutes, he said he would focus on deporting people with criminal records beyond their immigrant status, probably two million, it could even be three million.
