Good write up. This issue is indeed very serious, I think more serious than the article indicates. As noted, a sound immigration policy first and foremost does not actively undermine the host nation's culture and worship. But that is exactly what our current immigration policies are doing. Our host culture is on life support, and Whites will soon be a minority in America. And not only that, but we fail to impose on immigrants the duty to assimilate to the host culture. This is happening in most all Western nations. You cannot just replace a host population via immigration and expect things to continue in a stable manner.

As you also indicate, not only are our policies bad for citizens, they are bad for the immigrants too, who are often exploited or succumb to liberal values within a generation or two. All families are harmed by irresponsible immigration policy--Immigrant families surely, but also American families.

I would say the Catholic case against unrestricted immigration should focus not only on the needs to the host country but those of the illegal immigrants as well. With the vast number of missing children (85,000), deaths of immigrants (850+ so far this year), forced participation in the illegal drug trade (which has led to >100,000 deaths), the number of women sexually abused by the coyotes (80%), human trafficking, etc., it is not Christian to allow this kind of exploitation of migrants.
