CWN Editor's Note: “At a time when refugees, asylum seekers, stateless persons, and others are confronted with growing indifference or outright hostility, we remain steadfast in our support, guided by the courageous examples of those who came before,” Bishop Mark Seitz of El Paso, chairman of the US bishops’ Committee on Migration, said in a statement for World Refugee Day.
