CHICAGO - Archbishop Blase Cupich, who was recently chosen by Pope Francis to lead the Catholic Church in Chicago, has said that amnesty for illegal immigrants is on God's agenda. He stated that the bishops of the United States are "very much in favor of action being taken to protect people who need to come out of the shadows.
"It's been too long of a time for people to wait for comprehensive immigration reform. And so we see this as an important first step hopefully to jumpstart what's happening," he said on CBS's Face The Nation.
Cupich was also concerned about the privacy of illegal immigrants, worrying that illegal immigrants may be deported if a future president reverses Obama's executive amnesty. Cupich said that "my concern would be that we would have a policy and a procedure that would have a confidentiality provision because if people come out of the shadows and sign up and give their names and information they want to make sure that that is going to be protected in the future should the executive order change by another administration."
