Kansas Reflector
TOPEKA — An open letter from Kansas Catholic bishops urges people to approach immigration with compassion, and condemns portrayals of all immigrants as criminals.
“Treating all migrants and refugees as if they were violent criminals is simply unjust. They are human beings made in God’s image,” wrote Archbishop Shawn McKnight, Bishop Carl Kemme, and Bishop Gerald Vincke in the letter.
Throughout their letter, the bishops encouraged Kansans to see immigrants as humans rather than criminals.
All Kansas bishops signed the letter except Bishop John Brungardt in Dodge City.
