This bishops issued this statement: We stand in solidarity with His Holiness Pope Benedict XVI, who in his recent address to the Pontifical Council for Migrants and Itinerant People, called upon the nations of the world to establish policies and plans which give migrants and refugees “opportunities to obtain legal status, promoting the fair rights to family reunification, asylum and refugee status, compensating for necessary restrictive measures and opposing the appalling trafficking of human beings.” Countries are man-made creations, not God's, so in God's world there are no borders. Part of the opposition to trafficking of human beings is the development of occupational possibilities for those who live in Mexico.
