A federal immigration reform bill finally is ready for debate in Congress.

On the eve of the measure’s introduction, activists in Morristown marched from St. Margaret’s Roman Catholic Church to St. Peter’s Episcopal Church to pray for its enactment with members of the Principe de Paz congregation.

In this video, organizer Ilana Rossoff of Wind of the Spirit concedes the bill is a mixed bag for undocumented immigrants–but says it’s a start.

Participants also remembered victims of the Boston Marathon bombings in their prayers.

  1. They don’t need new laws. They need to enforce existing ones! Identify, jail, deport. Go after their enablers!

    We need Sheriff Joe!
