If someone says "why don't they just get in line," send them this.
"Why don't they just apply for citizenship?"
This is a question often directed toward undocumented immigrants living in the United States.
But the pathway to American citizenship for the vast majority is long, complex, and financially draining.

This morning I’m bereft. They hate us. They’re killing us. They’re terrorizing us. They’re torturing us. Most days I can see it and process it to the best of my ability in that moment. I have to put one foot in front of another. I’ve become disciplined in that. And then there are days like this.

Today’s culmination of National Migration Week led by @usccbofficial.bsky.social and @catholiccharities.bsky.social provides an opportunity for deep reflection. For me it highlights the deadly ethnic cleansing happening in our midst fueled by bigotry, nationalism, pride, and power.

Today in 2015, the body of Alan Kurdi, a three-year-old Syrian child, was found on a beach in Turkey. A photo went viral, sparking awareness & compassion for migrants who drown at sea. Historians now say it was the last time anyone publicly cared about the death of children.
