The Council's site has an Issues and Action section encouraging Catholics to get involved: http://www.usccb.

The following press releases by the Council of Bishops help frame a compassionate and open Catholic and American response to immigrants and refugees.
Quote: Most Reverend Joe Vasquez, Bishop of Austin, Texas, and Chair of the Committee on Migration stated: "We welcome the decision of the 9th Circuit Court of Appeals. We respect the rule of law and the American judicial process. We remain steadfast in our commitment to resettling refugees and all those fleeing persecution. At this time, we remain particularly dedicated to ensuring that affected refugee and immigrant families are not separated and that they continue to be welcomed to our country. We will continue to welcome the newcomer as it is a vital part of our Catholic faith and an enduring element of our American values and tradition."
