Yesterday, Bishop Kettler added his voice to the current immigration discussion with a piece in the St. Cloud Times: Today’s system does not proudly welcome the immigrant. The unaccompanied children — as young as 5 years old — at the border are being greeted with hostility and near chaos. And, our current immigration system has long criminalized and shamed the immigrant, after he was lured, often by Americans and our businesses, to exploit his labor. Our system does not support the family and build community. It does not open America to new cultures and ideas; it closes it off. It does not offer opportunity and encourage hard work; it offers a substandard life for certain classes; of people and encourages dishonesty. It does not even offer a line to wait in to immigrate legally.
