Catholic bishops back Obama acting alone on immigration

David Gibson
BALTIMORE (RNS) The nation’s Catholic bishops are jumping into the increasingly contentious battle over immigration reform by backing President Obama’s pledge to act on his own to fix what one bishop called “this broken and immoral system” before Republicans assume control of Capitol Hill in January.

In an unscheduled address Tuesday (Nov. 11) at the hierarchy’s annual meeting, Seattle Auxiliary Bishop Eusebio Elizondo, chairman of the migration committee of the U.S. Conference of Catholic Bishops, said the USCCB would continue to work with both parties to pass comprehensive immigration reform.

Also wondering - Can the bishops deliver votes if Obama delvers for them?

(They haven't done much vote-delivering for Dems in recent years.)
(Edited to add- last line is tongue in cheek.)
