If I were to sum up in one word what I experienced when I read the “Special Message” on immigration released on November 12, 2025, by the United States Conference of Catholic Bishops, it would be “abandoned.”
I felt abandoned as an immigrant, a naturalized American, and a Catholic because that statement showed that the Catholic bishops of America cared more about illegal aliens and criminals than struggling legal immigrants, American citizens, the Catholics they are supposed to be shepherding, and the disorder and existential crisis from which our society is suffering.
