U.S. Roman Catholic bishops delivered a “special pastoral message on immigration” on Wednesday, raising “our concern here for immigrants.”

Although it doesn’t mention President Trump by name, the U.S. Conference of Catholic Bishops’ (USCCB) message marks a rare public reproach of his immigration policies.

    And you’re suggesting that democrats reverse direction on a position that’s been a major driver for votes for them for decades now. Yeah, they won’t win your purple county over it, but they’ll definitely not lose all the blue counties they win because of it.

      Nationwide? Absolutely not. For specific seats where the only viable candidates disagree with the national party? Absolutely. Look the other way and apply pressure. Instead of turning their back entirely and letting them switch parties.
