Human beings leave their homelands for many reasons and they are
called by many names: illegal aliens, strangers, asylum-seekers,
displaced persons, economic migrants, lawful permanent residents,
refugees, temporary workers, and victims of trafficking. Some are
forced to flee because of violence, persecution, natural disaster,
or intense economic privation. Most migrate in search of a better
life, many as part of a family survival strategy. The movement of
people from one place to another has remained a constant feature of
human history. In an era characterized by the fast and cheaper
movement of goods and services around the globe, migrants are the
face of globalization. The world's two hundred million migrants
often find themselves at the center of economic, social, and
political debates. This book describes the distinctive way in which
Catholic social teaching looks at migrants. It analyzes migration
from the legal, social science, and cultural perspectives, and
gives special consideration to the lived experience of immigrants
themselves and their host communities. The book identifies gaps and
opportunities to improve government and non-governmental responses
to migration on a local, national, and international level. And You
Welcomed Me aims to reframe perspectives on migration by focusing
on the human beings at the heart of this phenomenon. It analyzes
trade, immigration, labor, national security, and integration
policies in light of the core Catholic commitment to the common
good, human dignity, authentic development, and solidarity.
