Activists and DACA recipients are seen in New York City Feb. 15. The group is walking 250 miles to Washington to demand Congress pass a "clean" bill with no conditions to save the Deferred Action for Childhood Arrivals program, such as the Development, Relief and Education for Alien Minors Act, or DREAM Act.

El Arzobispo Lori se une al llamado de los obispos de E.E.U.U. para salvar a DACA

WASHINGTON— A fines de la semana pasada, el Senado no logró los 60 votos necesarios para avanzar en el debate sobre legislación para brindar alivio a los Dreamers. El cardenal Daniel DiNardo de Galveston-Houston, presidente de la USCCB; el arzobispo José H. Gómez de Los Ángeles, vicepresidente de la USCCB, y el obispo Joe S. Vásquez de Austin, presidente del Comité sobre Migración de la USCCB, emitieron conjuntamente la siguiente declaración:

“Nos sentimos profundamente decepcionados de que el Senado no haya podido reunirse de manera bipartidista para asegurar protección legislativa a los Dreamers. Al estar ya por vencer la fecha límite este 5 de marzo, pedimos una vez más a los miembros del Congreso que demuestren el liderazgo necesario para encontrar una solución justa y humana para estos jóvenes, que diariamente enfrentan creciente ansiedad e incertidumbre.”

La USCCB solicitó a los creyentes que “llamen a sus miembros del Congreso el próximo lunes 26 de febrero para proteger a los Dreamers de la deportación, proporcionarles un camino hacia la ciudadanía y evitar cualquier daño a las protecciones existentes para las familias y menores no acompañados.”

El Arzobispo William E. Lori se hizo eco de este llamado e invitó a los  católicos de la Arquidiócesis de Baltimore a que participen en el “Día Nacional Católico de Llamadas para Proteger a los Dreamers,” anunciado por los obispos.

“Les animo a los fieles a dejarles saber a nuestros legisladores que estamos junto a los jóvenes servidos por DACA,” dijo. “Como católicos y gente de fe, estamos llamados a defender la vida en todas sus etapas, y la vida de estos jóvenes está siendo puesta en riesgo innecesariamente por la amenaza de deportación y separación del único país que muchos de ellos conocen, y también por la separación de su familia, amigos, trabajos, escuelas y sustento.”
