Dallas, Texas, Feb 2, 2008 / 11:22 am
With an estimated 12 million illegal aliens in the United States, immigration is an unavoidable issue in the upcoming 2008 presidential election. Paul Hunker, a Dallas immigration lawyer with 15 years of experience in the area has written a summary of the Catholic Church’s teachings on immigration policy.
In his synopsis, Hunker examines papal documents, the Catechism of the Catholic Church and also Catholic social doctrine to support his findings on the dignity of human persons and the importance of welcoming the foreigner; balanced with the common good of society in regards to immigration.
The document is featured in this week’s Political Punch column.
