The Knights of Columbus advocate for comprehensive federal immigration reform that balances border security with humanitarian, compassionate, and legal pathways to citizenship. They oppose the criminalization of humanitarian aid to undocumented immigrants and push for policies that prevent family separations. The organization has supported efforts to assist migrants and asylum seekers at the southern U.S. border.
Key aspects of their stance, often aligning with the U.S. Conference of Catholic Bishops, include:
Comprehensive Reform: Advocating for legislation that provides an earned path to legal status and citizenship.
Humanitarian Focus: Protecting vulnerable populations, such as refugees and unaccompanied children.
Legal Protections: Restoring due process for immigrants and opposing family separation.
Worker Programs: Supporting safe, legal, and functional temporary worker programs.
Border Security: Recognizing the right and responsibility of the nation to control its borders, while urging this be done through a lens of justice and charity.
