text: Sad to see a misrepresentation of the facts on this "Catholic" website; shame on you:
  1) see catechism 2241 for both parts of the Church's teaching on responsibilities of hosts AND governments regarding immigrants and their responsibilities.
  2) the French gave us a statue that is the Roman Goddess of Liberty, holding the Declaration of Independence. Only later was the poem regarding the "poor...yearning to breathe free" added, when the government was raising money to build a pedestal. Misrepresenting the regulation of immigration to our country as something new is an outright lie. Time to go back to school!
