The Catholic Church is itself an immigrant church and it has helped integrate new immigrants into American society through services, education, advocacy, and solidarity. As churches integrate new immigrants into their religious practices, they do so in a uniquely American way, slowly merging them with the general citizenry. Immigration reform, in the eyes of the church, is the ultimate integration program. The government should partner with religious groups as it pursues a national integration policy in which federal and state governments work together to ensure that immigrants and refugees receive appropriate services.
