About this sermon
President-elect Donald Trump ran on a promise to secure America's borders. It calls for the largest deportation in American history, using the US military to deport upwards of 13 million non-citizens. But what effect could this have on the US economy, families of migrant children and even US citizens? A Senate hearing took a closer look at the impacts. The Catholic Church has long supported the dignity of the person that also applied to migrants who may have illegally entered this country. Right now, US bishops are taking a wait-and-see approach to President-elect Donald Trump's campaign promise to carry out mass deportations, starting on day one. But they say they are prepared to speak out forcefully if Trump does advance the controversial proposal in a way that undermines the Church's teaching. Lawmakers say mass deportation could tear apart families and harm communities. During the hearing, a DACA recipient testified how living in the US has provided opportunities. He is now a US assistant district attorney. Capitol Hill Correspondent Erik Rosales reports. ------------ EWTN News Nightly provides the latest news and analysis from a Catholic perspective.
