Join Bishop Mark J. Seitz, chairman of the US Conference of Catholic Bishops Committee on Migration and bishop of El Paso, Texas, as he speaks to the work of faith communities welcoming vulnerable persons on the move in the borderlands, the truth of a broken immigration system at the border, the reasons driving people to look for safety and a new life here in the United States, and how you can get involved in the work of justice for immigrants.
