Echoing a statement by the bishops’ migration chairman, the US Conference of Catholic Bishops has asked the faithful to urge members of Congress to pass the Afghan Adjustment Act.

“As a Catholic and your constituent, I urge you to provide lasting safety and security to Afghans relocated to the United States over the past year by passing the bipartisan Afghan Adjustment Act (S. 4787/H.R. 8685),” in the words of the suggested message to members of Congress.
