Democratic silence on migrant caravan is deafening

ANALYSIS/OPINION:

‘Yes they can,” but no they won’t.

For several weeks, a band of several thousand Honduran migrants have been traveling north with the stated goal of reaching the United States.

Republicans have seized on the reckless disregard for American laws that the caravan represents.

As a Catholic, I am sensitive to the requirement that we must help the least of us, and like many American families, ours supports various charitable organizations in their important missions.

I do not doubt that many of these Honduran citizens are living in desperate poverty and would love to live in America.

But we must be a nation of laws.
