The United States Conference of Catholic Bishops, Catholic Charities USA, and the Catholic Legal Immigration Network issued a letter stating that they “strongly oppose” the Trump administration’s decision to end the automatic extension of employment authorization for migrants. In a 14-page letter to an official of US Citizenship and Immigration Services, the organizations argued that the decision “will guarantee widespread employment-authorization gaps; destabilize fragile households; generate severe backlogs and administrative burdens for affiliates; impede the functioning of state agencies, such as Departments of Motor Vehicles; and impose substantial costs on US employers and local economies.” William Quinn, the USCCB’s general counsel, signed the letter on behalf of the bishops’ conference.
