"The conference's opposition to stripping folks of birthright citizenship "is motivated by their firmly held belief that each person is endowed by God with an inherent dignity that confers certain universal, inviolable, and inalienable rights.""
""The intended and unintended effects of the executive order are immoral and contrary to the Catholic Church's fundamental beliefs and teachings regarding the life and dignity of human persons, the treatment of vulnerable people- particularly migrants and children-and family unity.""
The U.S. Conference of Catholic Bishops filed an amicus brief opposing President Trump's executive order abolishing birthright citizenship for children of many immigrants. Despite frequently supporting conservative positions on issues like same-sex marriage and reproductive freedom, the conference strongly opposes Trump's immigration policies. The brief characterizes the executive order as immoral and contrary to Catholic teachings on human dignity, vulnerable populations, and family unity. The brief emphasizes that each person possesses God-given inherent dignity conferring universal, inviolable, and inalienable rights. The Supreme Court is scheduled to hear the challenge to the executive order on April 1.
