On Tuesday, the House Subcommittee on Immigration, Citizenship, Refugees, Border Security, and International Law, in hearings on comprehensive immigration reform, heard testimony from a panel of eight representatives of various religious and faith-based organizations. They expressed varied views on legislative proposals currently before Congress. The full text of the statements of each of the witnesses is available at the Judiciary Committee’s website.
Reporting on the hearings, the Gospel Herald says that evangelical leaders were particularly concerned that proposed revisions restrict family reunification by lowering the number of visas for various family members of US citizens and legal residents.
