Caritas Mexico and the Mexican bishops’ Committee on Social affairs have announced the celebration of Migrant Week in order to help the thousands of illegal Mexicans who want to work in the United Sates.

The initiative is part of a bilateral campaign being carried out by bishops of Mexico and the United States in order to achieve an agreement on immigration between the two countries.

During the last four years, the bishops of Mexico have carried out various activities in order to help migrants, such as the national collection by the Bishops’ Conference of Mexico in order to raise funds for the centers of assistance for migrants.
