"The LDS Church declared its support yesterday for the Utah Compact on Immigration Reform, a five point statement that acknowledges the contributions of immigrants to the American economy and Utah communities, opposes the separation of working families, expresses support for the education and well-being of all children (regardless of immigration status), and characterizes immigration as a civil matter requiring compassionate and humane policy reform, not a criminal matter to be pursued by local law enforcement."
"In an additional statement issued yesterday, Church officials urged legislators to adopt immigration reforms that “balance love for neighbors, family cohesion, and the observance of just and enforceable laws.”
