Dear brothers and sisters,
The problem of ‘undocumented migrants’ is not new. It already existed at the time of Jesus' birth. Under the Roman occupation, the Jews were refugees in their own country - just like millions of others today. So it was that, at the whim of the occupying power, Mary and Joseph, like so many others, had to take to the road to get themselves legalized.
