We, the Sisters of Charity of the Incarnate Word, San Antonio, Texas, oppose and condemn the unjust implementation of the “zero tolerance” immigration policies. Our values and the Gospel of Jesus Christ impel us to reject completely any policy that ignores and defiles the dignity of the human person, and uses the most vulnerable among us for political purposes.

We urge members of the United States Congress to act immediately to halt the unjust, immoral and unconscionable implementation of this policy.
“What you do to the least of these, you do to me” (Matthew 25:40).
