Holy Cross Intercongregational Hispanic Ministries Committee

Statement on Arizona Immigration Law


The Holy Cross Intercongregational Hispanic Ministries Committee has 35 years of experience working with Latino immigrants. We are members of Roman Catholic Apostolic Religious Congregations that have 150 years of experience in the US and other countries promoting and developing parish, health and education ministries serving immigrants and other vulnerable populations in North America.  We stand with colleagues in community development, faith based communities, education and health care and other religious communities, to strongly oppose the reckless, hurtful racial profiling promoted by the recent SB1070 legislation in Arizona. 

As educators, we decry the traumatization of children due to the abrupt removal of theirs parents.

As pastoral agents, we object to the disruption of the family unit caused by deportation. 

As health care professionals, we envision Latinos fearful to approach public health and public safety services.

As U.S. Citizens, we consider it unworthy of a country of many citizens descended from immigrants, whose strength has always been our immigrant communities, to arbitrarily punish those with certain racial characteristics. 

The Holy Cross Hispanic Ministries Committee composed of representatives from the four congregations of Holy Cross and lay co-ministers, responds to the needs and shares in the life of the growing Hispanic population in North America.  We support the presence of our Hispanic brothers and sisters and their right to experience the protection of the United States as a country of laws which support, respect and uphold the dignity of the person.  We object to a law which promotes racial profiling and assumes that any “Latino” can be considered a suspect person because of a subjective interpretation by an officer of the law.  We urge that Arizona SB1070 not be implemented.    Skip to Endorsement Form
