Engaging Your Faith: When the Welcome Mat Wears Thin: Constraints on Immigration

When the Welcome Mat Wears Thin: Constraints on Immigration

St. John XXIII, in Pacem et Terris, says, “It is … the duty of State officials to accept such immigrants and—so far as the good of their own community, rightly understood, permits—to further the aims of those who may wish to integrate themselves into a new society.” (Para. 25) This presentation discusses the constraints on migration implicit in the Pope’s statement. What is necessary in order to preserve the cohesiveness of society and to avoid placing severe strain on society are among the issues discussed.
