Hispanic evangelicals break ranks, advocate immigration reform: Legal status for undocumented immigrants
Breaking rank with leading evangelical groups that have chosen to stay out of current immigration debates, a new coalition has formed to represent more than 20 million Hispanic evangelicals and to denounce Congress’s handling of immigration issues.
At an inaugural news conference February 3 in Carrollton, Texas, the Hispanic Coalition for Comprehensive Immigration Reform called on Congress to create ways for undocumented immigrants to apply for legal status while seeking full citizenship.
