Regarding: "Two days after Trump won the election, Gomez called for mercy and an end to deportations as he led religious leaders in an interfaith prayer service for peace, solidarity and unity at the Cathedral of Our Lady of the Angels."
- How does Gomez's call match the bishops statement to honor and respect the laws of the nation. That is, by professing solidarity and unity, is Gomez not raising hopes that the LA archdiocese will in some way intervene and otherwise sidestep the laws of the nation?
- Has Gomez validated that all employees of the archdiocese are permitted to work in the US. That is, they are citizens, permanent residents, or have green cards? Does the Archd. as employer use E-Verify?
- All of this written, what would Gomez and USCCB recommend to improve immigration laws so that it is clear that law is made for man? What would Gomez and USCCB say to the bishops of nations that seem so easily and ready to loose some of the best people in their countries to the USA.
