CfCIR Testifies in Washington, DC

In Washington, DC leaders active in a network called Conservatives for Comprehensive Immigration Reform (CfCIR) came out strong at a House Judiciary Subcommittee hearing on immigration policy. Matt Staver, Founder and Chairman, Liberty Counsel and Dean, Liberty University School of Law and Richard Land, President, Southern Baptist Ethics and Religious Liberty Commission testified at the hearing, making the moral, legal and religious case for comprehensive immigration reform. Dean Staver told the Subcommittee, “The time to forge a national consensus is now. America is a country of immigrants, a melting pot of individuals from various ethnicities and cultures. It is this rich heritage of immigration on which this country was established, and, in accordance with a just immigration policy, this country will continue to thrive. America deserves a just immigration policy; one that begins with securing, not closing, our borders, one that enforces the laws, and one that offers the opportunity for earned legal status.”
