Our nation is at a tipping point. Tens of millions of people have entered the United States illegally, straining public welfare programs and resources and altering the social fabric of our country.
Despite the serious costs of unchecked migration, our shepherds in the Catholic Church have said relatively little. The U.S. Conference of Catholic Bishops has spoken clearly about the dignity of migrants, but far less about the dignity of native citizens and of the nation itself.
We believe Church leadership has neglected part of its God-given duty to shepherd its own flock. When care for noncitizens is emphasized without a corresponding concern for the common good of the nation and the welfare of its citizens, the hierarchy of responsibilities becomes disordered. Americans are losing jobs. Americans are becoming victims of violent, organized crime.
Young Catholics for Ordered Migration was founded to help restore that balance: to stand for the dignity of the United States and the West, and for our right, under the laws of nature and of God, to secure our borders.
We exist to present the hard truths about unchecked migration charitably, but without apology, to leaders in the Church and in public life.
Our aim is to persuade Church leaders to recover the Church’s full and long-established teaching on migration; to encourage respectful dialogue between the Church and civil authorities; and to reform how the Church preaches and teaches on this issue.
