Editors of America Magazine, a Jesuit magazine, come out against more funding for ICE “without reform.” www.americamagazine.org/editorials/2...

No more funding for ICE without reform. Congress must act.

Catholic leaders, including bishops and ideally the U.S. Conference of Catholic Bishops as a body, should join Cardinal Tobin in calling for withholding funding until reforms are enacted.

Imagine a world where government budget cuts impacted the military, making war less likely. We could have elected leaders who work hard to avoid war and promote peace. Let's do it next time.

The United States Congress has the Constitutional power and the patriotic duty to stop this insanity immediately, for the good of all Conservative and Liberal Americans’ future.
