(1) Immigrant Rights: Statement from the Rev. William G. Sinkford on
Immigration Reform

"People of many faiths have been moved by the current debate over the
immigration and labor policies that present a profound dilemma for our
nation. We are seeing that our willingness to ignore the injustices that
maintain our economic system weakens the moral fabric of our society. We
know that illegal immigration is driven by two factors: the prospect of
economic opportunity for the newcomers, and the voracious need of
American businesses for cheap labor."
