Evangelicals Announce Mobilizing Strategy for Immigration Reform

Date: June 12, 2012

More than 150 influential evangelical Christians across America, including Jim Daly, president of Focus on the Family, endorsed an “Evangelical Statement of Principles for Immigration Reform” released on Tuesday during a press conference on Capitol Hill. Following the press event, prominent evangelical leaders delivered these principles to leadership from the Obama administration, Senate and House of Representatives.

Evangelical leaders formally announced the creation of an “Evangelical Immigration Table” to advance a cohesive immigration reform message and strategy while building political will in the pews. The leaders made the case that humane immigration reform should be a moral priority.
