The NFL has started its season with the draft and putting the teams together. We need to do the same.

Immigration Reform

By The Most Reverend Gustavo García-Siller, Archbishop of San Antonio

We are a compassionate and generous people. The message of welcome on which the Statue of Liberty stands reflects the legacy of inherent decency that has defined us; “Give me your tired, your poor, your huddled masses yearning to breathe free.” I fear that if Lady Liberty arrived today, she might not find a home and her spirit would never be carved into the American heart.
