“In the face of attitudes hostile to these displaced persons, our faith invites the Society to promote everywhere a more generous culture of hospitality.”
Jesuit General Congregation 36, Decree 1
Catholic Social Teaching tells us that it is our “duty to welcome the foreigner out of charity and respect for the dignity and rights of the human person.” Through our “Campaign for Hospitality,” the Ignatian Solidarity Network joins Pope Francis, as well as our Jesuit and other Catholic partners in creating a culture that seeks to welcome, protect, promote, and integrate immigrant persons into our communities.

Create a Path to Citizenship for Undocumented Immigrants

Over 11 million people in the U.S. remain undocumented without a pathway to legal status, and many others face obstacles to attaining or maintaining legal status. Legislation like U.S. Citizenship Act (S.348), Dream Act (S.264), SECURE Act (S.306), and Citizenship for Essential Workers Act (S.747) will all create a pathway to citizenship and recognize them as the Americans they are.
