U.S. immigration reform remains unresolved and highly contested, and religious perspectives have been largely absent from the discussion. Catholic, mainline Protestant, and minority faith leaders have all supported immigrant-friendly reforms, while the African-American and Orthodox churches have been largely silent on the issue. Evangelical leaders have promulgated mixed and muted messages regarding immigration reform. An examination of religious attitudes at the mass level indicate that, even though there is not uniformity of religious support for immigrant-friendly types of reform, and indeed there would be opposition in some religious circles, the contours of a policy approach that would enjoy fairly wide religious support are clear
