The article itself says Uchdorf claim was that he was against illegals becoming citizens.
“He was talking about his principles and what he said was totally in line with our values,” Uchtdorf told The Salt Lake Tribune.
His comments are the strongest signs yet that the church is sympathetic to an overhaul effort that many Mormon politicians, including Utah’s congressional delegation, have rejected.
“They are bishops in our church, but they never became legal residents because the system was not right for it and all of a sudden we are having changes even though they were more or less invited here to come because their work was needed,” Uchtdorf said.
Uchtdorf called Obama’s invitation a “great gesture” that he accepted only after talking with LDS President Thomas S. Monson and other members of the faith’s Quorum of the Twelve.
