      The article reports on the move by Catholic Bishop Mark J. Seitz of El Paso, Texas, to urge Catholics and elected officials to halt deportation of undocumented migrants until comprehensive immigration reform is enacted. Seitz issued a pastoral letter condemning the militarization of the U.S.-Mexican border. He suggested the creation of a scholarship program for Dreamers or undocumented immigrants brought to the U.S. as children.
