Regarding: "Any bishop can visit virtually any Catholic school and talk to the Latino children and he will discover how scared they are. "
- No doubt children of other immigrant groups are experiencing the same fear.
- It is a problem that when anyone says 'immigration' a large number of  listeners, and pundits, hear 'latino' or 'mexican' or 'hispanic'.
- The immigration issue in the US is a mirror of the movement of peoples throughout the world.
- From a global perspective those who wish to help immigrants needs must see the 'immigrant issue' as a spectrum: why did the person come to the USA?; why does the person want to stay?; if sent back to country of origin  -- will the church be ready to assist? how do we send US citizens to their parents country of origin and avoid planting seeds of animosity against the US government?
- It is a mistake that bishops  see their role as only helping persons to stay; their role includes helping people to leave and find aid in countries of origin.
