They held up cardboard picture frames to their faces and said, “This could be me.” The frames, which were made by children of undocumented immigrants at St. Pius V School, symbolized “laws like Arizona’s that are immoral and go against the human fabric,” said Dominican Father Brennan Curran, pastor of St. Pius V Parish. The group consisted of Catholic priests, religious sisters and brothers and representatives from Christian, Muslim and Jewish faith communities who came out to a press conference at Holy Name Cathedral Chapel May 12 to oppose the enactment and implementation of Arizona SB1070 and to call upon the federal government to freeze non-felony deportations and move swiftly toward passing compassionate, comprehensive immigration legislation. “The passage of such legislation that will inevitably increase an already scandalous amount of profiling of Latino men and women in Arizona reflects a greater frustration with our Congress and Federal administration,” the Priests for Justice for Immigrants and Sisters and Brothers of Immigrants said in a prepared statement read at the event. Auxiliary Bishop Gustavo Garcia-Siller shared a personal experience of being stopped by airport security at Midway Airport, which is in the bishop’s own vicariate, on his way back from a trip to Mexico where he ordained priests. The bishop, who is a U.S. citizen born in Mexico, was interrogated by security for more than two hours. A priest of German descent traveling with him was not detained. “There are serious concerns regarding law enforcement based on suspicions of legal status,” Bishop Garcia-Siller said. “There is so much fear and anger sometimes in those who interpret and enforce the law, which fosters racism and discrimination.” The archdiocese’s Office for Immigrant Affairs and Immigration Education helped sponsor the event.
