A group of more than 4,000 religious sisters and clergy, including priests, brothers and deacons, sent a letter to every US senator, member of Congress and President Donald Trump voicing support for the refugee resettlement program.
"Our nation has long prided itself on providing refugee families an opportunity to start a new life and the chance to contribute to the continued flourishing of our country. Now, when the need is so great, is not the time to waver in our commitment to this tradition of welcome," said the letter dated March 27 and released by the Franciscan Action Network in Washington.
