You know the United States is a country of immigrants. I thought we were long past debates about immigration. Isn't it a concern about lack of enforcement of existing laws about illegal immigration. Why does the Mormon church reduce it so?
This should give pause to any policy that contemplates targeting any one group...
Ya know, if you have a leaky faucet, you target that. If you have a faucet flooding your home, and your fence is fine, ya don't listen to your misguided neighbor telling you to focus on both your faucet and your fence.
YAWNNNNN
this org needs to have its tax-exempt status pulled.

Translation: Amnesty and screw the Rule of Law.
A balanced and civil approach..... What is that exactly?
Isn’t that like “Hope is not a plan and change is not a destination. - Rudy G”
Are you the Joseph Goebbels (e.g. Minister of Propaganda) of the Mormon Church?
This statement appears to be at odds with their previous activities...
That’s why the mormon church recently lobbied the state legislature to pass a version of amnesty for illegals in Utah? Because they’re so “conservative”?
Let’s see how the mormons vote now that their church leadership has helped to sell out the state and the members of the church.

Done with the direct help, lobbying, involvement and “encouragement” of the mormon church “leadership”.
They’ve made their position known quite clearly; “One thing is clear: The Church of Jesus Christ of Latter-day Saints has abandoned its claims to neutrality on these bills.”

They’ve just accelerated their demise, all in the name of “religion”.
The mormon church hierarchy has sold out the people of Utah.
....The church takes a sort-of "don't ask, don't tell" approach to the immigration status of its own members. Some estimate that 50 percent to 75 percent of members in Utah's 100-plus Spanish-speaking congregations are undocumented. That includes many bishops, branch presidents, even stake presidents. The church sends missionaries among undocumented immigrants across the country, baptizing many of them without asking about their status. It also allows them to go to the temple and on missions.Related threads:

The bedrock moral issue for The Church of Jesus Christ of Latter-day Saints is how we treat each other as children of God.

Solidly on both sides of the issue.
