Church Supports Principles of Utah Compact on Immigration

The Church of Jesus Christ of Latter-day Saints issued the following statement of support today following the announcement of the Utah Compact, a document backed by a broad spectrum of community leaders:

As a worldwide church dealing with many complex issues across the globe, The Church of Jesus Christ of Latter-day Saints promotes broad, foundational principles that have worldwide application. The Church regards the declaration of the Utah Compact as a responsible approach to the urgent challenge of immigration reform.  It is consistent with important principles for which we stand:

·         We follow Jesus Christ by loving our neighbors.  The Savior taught that the meaning of "neighbor" includes all of God's children, in all places, at all times.

·         We recognize an ever-present need to strengthen families.   Families are meant to be together.  Forced separation of working parents from their children weakens families and damages society.

·         We acknowledge that every nation has the right to enforce its laws and secure its borders.  All persons subject to a nation's laws are accountable for their acts in relation to them. 

Public officials should create and administer laws that reflect the best of our aspirations as a just and caring society.   Such laws will properly balance love for neighbors, family cohesion, and the observance of just and enforceable laws.
