The plan was never implemented. Several states filed suit, arguing it was an unconstitutional use of presidential authority. Lower courts have ruled against the plan. But it has strong support in many faith communities, including from the US Catholic Bishops. Correspondent Kim Lawton traveled to the US-Mexico border to report on Catholic advocacy for deported migrants. She also interviewed a critic who claimed immigration reform is \u201cmore ethically complicated\u201d than opponents of deportation often make it seem.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>\n\u201cOne of our great strengths is to make visible in appropriate ways the migrant men, women, and children we serve,\u201d says Rev.
