Arizona immigration law fallout harms LDS Church outreach

May 21, 2010 (1 min read)

"The law, which makes it a state crime to be in the country without proper immigration papers, has tarnished the Mormon Church's image among many Latinos, a huge group the church is aggressively trying to attract. Pearce, a devout Mormon, has been the driving force behind virtually every bill introduced in recent years aimed at clamping down on illegal immigrants. Mormon officials say Pearce does not speak for the church, which has not taken a stance on Arizona's law or the issue of immigration. Still, it has put the church on the defensive." Arizona Republic, May 18, 2010.
