National religious leaders have promoted comprehensive immigration reform, but people in the pew have mixed views on immigration policy and integration. More discussions at the local and regional levels may prompt pastors to speak about these issues. Pulpits should not be used to establish political agendas but to encourage constituents to get involved. The law as it stands is broken; it should be fixed in ways that are consistent with faith principles and with moral principles common to people of other faiths or no professed faith.
