The Church of Jesus Christ of Latter-day Saints has reiterated principles and communicated guidelines to local leaders in the United States regarding immigration issues.

As disciples of Jesus Christ, the following principles guide the Church’s approach:

  1. The Church of Jesus Christ of Latter-day Saints obeys the law.
  2. We follow Jesus Christ by loving our neighbors. The Savior taught that the meaning of “neighbor” includes all of God’s children.
  3. We seek to provide basic food and clothing, as our capacity allows, to those in need, regardless of their immigration status. We are especially concerned about keeping families together.

The guidance closely follows statements made previously on these issues, which are available on the Church website.
