Catholic bishops in Minnesota say the policies of President Joe Biden’s administration “exacerbated” the immigration crisis in the United States, which is a “nation of laws that must be respected”.
In a joint statement, the eight bishops of the northern state said, “Sadly, our nation’s immigration system is broken.”
“For too long, our laws on paper said ‘stop, no entry’ while in fact, for economic and political reasons, undocumented migrants were allowed inside, sometimes with the encouragement of business interests and even our government,” the bishops said.
