I cringe every time I hear the phrase ‘family unity.’ Did you not get the memo from the Catholic Church? It’s actually ‘heterosexual family unity.’ Some families, some immigrants are just better, just a little bit more important than others.
That’s what the Catholic Church of Bishops and National Hispanic Christian Leadership Conference believe given why they withdrew support from a comprehensive legalization solution after UAFA—the same-sex binational couples—bill was added to the conversation.
Rev. Rodriguez is not only wrong in his assertion, but also insulting. I work mostly with migrant youth fighting for the DREAM Act—the most viable, doable and popular part of comprehensive legalization reforms. And I know for a fact that the movement is dominated by queer youth and women in leadership positions. Regardless of that small fact, I would love to know which immigrant Jesus would pick to throw under the bus.
