Can immigration policy in the United States be considered pro-life?

Sr. Norma Pimentel, M.J. spends her life serving migrants at the southern U.S. border. As a Christian, she doesn't see her work as optional. "It's a mandate from God," she says, "to look out for everybody." Sr. Norma burst onto the national scene when she addressed Pope Francis during a virtual papal audience ahead of his official visit to the U.S. in 2015. The Pope personally thanked her for her ministry. Today, she is one of the most recognized Catholics in the country. A tireless activist and advocate for migrants, Sr. Norma debunks some of the myths around migration and questions to what degree Americans can be described as "pro-life" amidst the suffering she witnesses daily at the border.
